primarily on intra-Mekong labour migration. However, since 2016, in response to changes in migration patterns, MMN has also begun working on issues surrounding migration from the Mekong to countries outside the sub-region, notably to Japan. Many industries in Japan are facing acute labour shortages, and many employers recognize that migrant workers are critical to the sustainability of their businesses. Approximately the half of the technical intern trainees in Japan are from Vietnam, and the number of migrant workers from Cambodia and Myanmar are growing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4daa383 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4daa383\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/mekongmigration.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_4899-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-23093\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mekongmigration.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_4899-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mekongmigration.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_4899-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mekongmigration.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_4899-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mekongmigration.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_4899-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mekongmigration.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_4899-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Prospective migrant workers at a recruitment agency in Phnom Penh, Cambodia<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c3c6312 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c3c6312\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">To maintain a Mekong focus, MMN carries out this work under its coordinated <\/span><em style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Roles of Countries of Origin Project<\/em><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">.

They expressed a desire to fill this gap in order to improve their capacity to assist migrants destined for Japan.\n\nTo address these concerns, MMN has expanded its focus to include labour migration from Cambodia, Myanmar, and Vietnam to Japan by conducting collaborative research and advocacy between 2017 and 2019. During this period, MMN organised the following multi-stakeholder consultation meetings, focusing on labour migration to Japan:\n\n* Consultation on Labour Migration from Myanmar to Japan, Yangon, October 2018;\n\n* Consultation on Labour Migration from Cambodia to Japan, Phnom Penh, February 2019;\n\n* Consultation on Labour Migration from Vietnam to Japan, Hanoi, July 2019; and\n\n* Multi-Stakeholder Workshop on Labour Migration from Mekong Countries to Japan, Tokyo, July 2019.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n\nClick the titles above to read proceedings.\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-prev\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eicon-chevron-left\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Previous<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-next\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eicon-chevron-right\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Next<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ddce62 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"2ddce62\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"Partners\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-87ab3d8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"87ab3d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Project Partners<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-83a3224 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"83a3224\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>Legal Support for Children and Women, Cambodia;<\/li><li>Centre for Development and Integration, Vietnam; and<\/li><li>Future Light Centre, Myanmar\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e145329 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"e145329\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"Related_Initiatives\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4fdce1c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4fdce1c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Related Initiatives<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2067822 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"2067822\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-3391\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-3391\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Short video \u201cMigrant interviews: Hope and Inspirations of Workers Going to Japan\u201d, 2022<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-3391\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-3391\"><p>To understand recruitment process, MMN organized field visits in Cambodia, Myanmar and Vietnam and met prospective migrants preparing to go to Japan.
