This paper provides an analysis and perspective of labour recruitment along the Myanmar-Thailand corridor– the largest source and destination countries for migrant workers within the intra-ASEAN region. It seeks to advance our understanding of current practices and proposes steps to drive Thailand and Myanmar along a more ethical recruitment track.
