Supporting Brighter Futures: Young women and girls and labour migration in South-East Asia and the Pacific

Supporting Brighter Futures: Young Women and Girls and Labour Migration in South-East Asia and the Pacific explores and critically examines the existing evidence base on key aspects of the topic so as to inform potential policy and programmatic responses designed to enhance labour migration impacts for young women and girls in South-East Asia and the Pacific. This publication entails a desk-based review of the current published evidence base and provides a knowledge “stocktake” for those involved in the ongoing development, delivery and refinement of related policy and programmatic interventions in the region. 

This research publication was made possible through support provided by the Gender Equality Branch of the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
