The Impact of Pacific Labour Mobility Schemes on Children Left Behind
In Fiji, Samoa, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu: An Initial Study
Highlights
This study aims to understand the impact of Pacific labor mobility schemes on children left behind in Fiji, Samoa, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu. It explores how these schemes influence the lives of children, families, and communities, focusing on protection risks and access to essential services in both urban and rural settings. The findings aim to guide Pacific governments in implementing child-sensitive and family-friendly policies to mitigate the challenges faced by these children and their caregivers. By incorporating the experiences of caregivers, returned workers, and young people, the study provides critical insights for improving government actions and programming, ensuring that children left behind are adequately protected and supported.
