Context:

In the globalized economy, migrants make up important parts of the labour force in international supply chains. While the migration experience often leads to positive outcomes for workers and their families, many prospective migrants are subjected to unethical recruitment practices that may include excessive fees, low wages, unreasonable physical demands or excessive time spent in remote locations. Migrant workers are therefore vulnerable to abusive and exploitative recruitment and employment practices which places them among the estimated 11.7 million people in the Asia-Pacific subjected to various forms of forced labour. IOM’s Corporate Responsibility in Eliminating Slavery and Trafficking in Asia (CREST) initiative identifies businesses as a critical partner in the fight against modern slavery and forced labour, with the private sector offering unique skills, knowledge and market leverage. Under the direct supervision of the Chief of Mission in IOM Viet Nam and in close coordination with the Regional Thematic Specialist on Labour Mobility and Human Development, the successful candidate will be responsible for the overall management and implementation of the

regional programme: “Corporate Responsibility in Eliminating Slavery and Trafficking” Project in Asia.
