Technical report on fair recruitment of migrant workers with disabilities

The International Labour Organization (ILO) is committed to advancing fair recruitment practices that respect human rights and promote decent work for all. Since its launch in 2014, the ILO Fair Recruitment Initiative (FRI) has sought to ensure that recruitment processes are con-ducted in a fair, transparent, and inclusive manner, guided by international labour standards and rooted in the principles of equality and non-discrimination.

This technical report on fair recruitment of persons with disabilities, with a specific focus on migrant workers, represents an important step toward filling a critical knowledge gap at the intersection of disability inclusion, migration, and recruitment. While the ILO’s General Principles and Operational Guidelines for Fair Recruitment underscore the importance of non-discrimination, explicit guidance on the inclusion of persons with disabilities, particularly mi¬grant workers, remains limited.

By examining existing literature, identifying key challenges and good practices, and situating these within the framework of relevant ILO standards, this brief seeks to lay the groundwork for more inclusive recruitment policies and practices.
