Presentation

Labor mobility not only contributes to the economic development of countries of origin and destination, but also offers workers the opportunity to improve their living conditions. In Latin America, where unemployment and underemployment are persistent challenges, labor migration is seen as a viable solution to reduce poverty and increase economic stability. Factors such as digital skills training, the proliferation of skilled migration agencies, and the role of compatriot networks in destination countries are essential to understanding the current dynamics of labor mobility. In addition, the use of artificial intelligence in recruitment and data management is revolutionizing the field, offering new opportunities and challenges. The objective of this study is to develop a toolkit-type document or “tookit” of validated and viable resources, including the identification of best practices in national labor mobility programs to guide national governments and improve their ability to connect eligible citizens with job opportunities abroad in destination countries. With the help of this toolkit, governments are expected to implement more effective labor mobility strategies, ensuring the protection of migrant workers’ rights, improving the efficiency of recruitment and management processes, and considering the new dynamics introduced by digitalization. The project is framed in a global context in which the demand for workers in sectors such as health, construction and agriculture is increasing, particularly in developed countries.
