It is estimated that most trafficked victims leave the country
through their own social networks or criminal intermediaries,
often linked to organized crime. There is evidence, however, that
private employment agencies, if left unregulated, can become part
of the modus operandi of the trafficking crime, including agencies
that recruit under disguise, such as travel, entertainment, model
or other agencies. Law abiding private employment agencies can play
a key role in facilitating legal migration, but they often have to
compete against illegitimate recruiters.
The ILO Project Office Armenia organizes a workshop on "Recruitment
Industry (Private Employment Agencies) in Armenia" to discuss these
problems with relevant stakeholders in Armenia.
The workshop is organized in the framework of the regional
ILO-OSCE-ICMPD project "Development of comprehensive anti-trafficking
response in South Caucasus." The project envisages inter alia analyzing
of functioning and problems of the private recruitment industry,
gaps in legislation, monitoring and enforcement. In the framework of
the project an assessment of the recruitment industry in Armenia was
prepared. The draft report will be presented at the workshop for the
participants' comments. An input will be provided to the discussion
on future developments of the recruitment industry in Armenia, based
on the Guide to Private Employment Agencies Regulation developed by
the ILO and on experience from other countries. The outcomes of the
workshop will feed into the final assessment of private employment
agencies.
