This Policy Brief is intended as an introduction to the labour recruitment system of these three key East Asian economies and highlights areas where the systems differ. It addresses the first of the Dhaka Principles for Migration with Dignity (the “Dhaka Principles”), which start with the principle that no fees are charged to migrant workers. Moreover, this brief outlines where opportunities exist to improve the protection of migrant rights by ensuring that no worker-borne fees are levied throughout the labour migration process.
與台灣亞洲交流基金會共同發布、本篇政策摘要概述了日本、韓國與台灣的跨國勞動力招聘制度，分析外籍移工在求職過程中，因支付招聘費用而陷入債務勞動的風險。本篇政策摘要不僅介紹和比較台日韓三國的跨國勞動力招聘制度，我們也援引《達卡原則》（Dhaka Principles for Migration with Dignity，簡稱「達卡原則」）的第一條基本原則—不得向移工收取任何費用7，期盼進一步提出改善的契機，以增進對勞工權利的保護。

“很高興在台灣政府公布《企業與人權國家行動計畫》之後，有這樣一份以台灣為出發點的研究成果出版，詳細地分析「企業」與「人權」間的鏈結，為「尊重」人權的步伐在台灣踏實紮根。”
“It is great to have a research report like this that starts with Taiwan and is framed with the local Taiwanese context in mind, to analyse to such detail the link between “business” and “human rights…This report is pivotal in showing that the corporate responsibility to respect human rights has taken root in Taiwan.”
