In doing so, the chapter focuses on common issues and interests in migration at a Global South level and the differences to those of established industrialised countries, as well as policy and management of migration in the Global South. Based on this, two main recommendations are put forward. Firstly, migration and development policy should be seen as complements rather than as substitutes. Considering the dominance of labour as a driver of migration as well as other drivers of migration in the Global South, there is an evident need to better integrate international migration policy and economic development policy. Secondly, managing the complex migration patterns in the Global South requires flexibility and adaptability, especially in the light of the Global Compact for Safe, Regular and Orderly Migration. Different experiences and practices with migration policy provide a rich portfolio of best practices and highlight the importance of the regional dimension. A stronger involvement of regional organisations may contribute to moderating potential conflicts of interest on migration between the Northern industrialised countries and the countries of the Global South and, as such, strengthen the complementarity between migration and economic development.

Noting the limitations of a conventional governmental approach to labour governance, they suggest considering new “hybrid” regulatory modes and mechanisms, which involve a combination of public and private actors and initiatives alongside or instead of traditional international labour law. The authors conclude by examining possible explanations for the emergence of gaps in the enforcement of labour rights, looking in particular at the issues of labour‐standard “selectivity” and the stringency with which standards are enforced.
