How do OECD countries respond to domestic violence against migrants? Many offer special visas or conditions, but protection of survivors varies in terms of eligibility, duration and other aspects. This brief compares and analyses these protections. www.oecd.org/migration/mi...

Cover Page: Migrants, especially women, are particularly at risk of violence and abuse. Among the social and economic factors making women vulnerable to gender-based violence, including within the private or family sphere, is their migration status. Partly spurred by international human rights instruments, OECD countries are taking action to protect victims/survivors and empower migrant spouses and families who have experienced domestic violence. Beside prosecuting or convicting perpetrators, many OECD countries have reformed or adapted immigration legislation to both encourage victims to report domestic violence and to support law enforcement authorities in their efforts to prosecute gender-based crimes.
This Migration Policy Debates gives an overview of the range of protection available for migrants who have experienced domestic
violence in OECD countries. The brief also addresses the shortcomings surrounding migration procedures and provides some policy
recommendations

Meanwhile a Korean government pilot visa for foreign housekeepers is meant to boost fertility Thin literature on migrant impact on native fertility (citing D. Furtado et al.) But *introducing* migrant domestic workers specifically to boost fertility is… unusual 6/9 t.co/Y3L2liVF5z

In Korea, despite wage threshold for family reunification, labour migrants can still have babies or form family with each other Long-term social/demographic consequences of labour migration not on radar Have to plan for that!

What’s in the "national interest" right now (according to government) is securing labour to meet current short-term shortages, so the planning focus is on identifying immediate needs With a shrinking youth cohort, the list of shortages keeps growing 2/9 koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/2023-11...
