Abstract
This Policy Brief aims to raise awareness and stimulate discussion about migration in the light of recent global policy developments on health worker migration, setting this in the context of impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. It documents efforts of public service trade unions to promote rights-based and sustainable approaches to migration, ethical recruitment and the role and contribution of public services to positive migration outcomes. Insights are also given into how the global union federation - Public Services International (PSI) – has added a critical voice to the emerging policy of global governance on international migration and the role that public services play in creating rights based and sustainable global policy on international migration. Finally, the Policy Brief looks critically at some of the strategies being promoted in achieving global SDGs and sets out the urgent case (in a Five-Point Plan) for continued and transformational policy and advocacy work in this field.
