摘要：

Pakistan's migration system is limited in its capacity to reduce risks and protect workers throughout the migration process. The emigration ordinance and rules, established in 1979 (and updated later), provide a legal and institutional foundation for migration, but significant efforts are required in their implementation and enforcement. This report reviews Pakistan's migration system from the perspective of both governance and also the migrants themselves. It is organized as follows: Chapter 2 assesses Pakistan's current migration management system, including its institutional and legal arrangements as well as the functioning of the recruitment markets. Chapter 3 provides an overview of a typical Pakistani migrant's journey by walking through the various stages of migration and the expected risks and benefits that influence decisions (and, consequently, outcomes). Chapter 4 draws on global evidence to propose unilateral and bilateral initiatives and policy recommendations that promise to promote safe, inclusive, and productive migration from Pakistan and to maximize its development impact. Chapter 5 concludes the report.
