Extending protection? Labour migration and durable solutions for refugees

This paper considers the potential contribution that regularized labour migration could make to UNHCR's understandings of durable solutions for refugees. It considers the limits of the three traditional durable solutions. It also looks into the potential benefits regularised labour migration could offer to UNHCR's durable solutions framework. Further, it considers the obstacles to the implementation of solutions base on regularised labour, particularly state resistance and the susceptibility of such labour migrants to fluctuations in economic demand.
