Sustainable and Socially Acceptable Labor Migration Management – Country Study of Georgia

PMC Research Center is conducting a country study of Georgia in the course of which we will cover labor migration management in Georgia and existing schemes. The study aims to assess the perspectives of different stakeholders, to address the perceptions of labor migration, and to examine the role of skills development in the country.

In this regard, PMC Research Center is conducting the following activities:

• • Addressing the perceptions of stakeholders regarding the existing migration schemes;

• • Identifying costs and benefits through the migration process;

• • Assessing the potential of Vocational Education and Training (VET) to make labor migration beneficial for all parties; and

• • Assessing the partnership.

The University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg (H-BRS) is currently implementing a research project entitled “Sustainable and Socially Acceptable Labour Migration Management” in cooperation with the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) in Georgia, Germany, Kosovo, and Vietnam. The research project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) through a grant provided by the “Programme Migration and Diaspora” of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.
