Situational analysis of employment in Nauru

Abstract

This report has been produced as part of the Pacific Climate Change and Migration (PCCM) Project entitled, 'Enhancing the Capacity of Pacific Island Countries to Manage the Impacts of Climate Change on Migration'. The PCCM Project is a three year project (2013-2016) funded by the European Union and implemented by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The vision of the project is to: -­- To increase protection of individuals and communities that are vulnerable to climate change displacement and migration through targeted national and regional policies; and -­- To increase labour mobility opportunities for Pacific Islanders, through well-managed labour migration schemes. The Project covers the Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Republic of Marshall Islands, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu. In the 'target countries' of Kiribati, Tuvalu and Nauru the Project will have national actions aimed at institutional strengthening through developing migration indicators and sharing of information on labour migration; gathering data on community attitudes to climate change induced migration; assisting with the development of climate change responses and national action strategies to mitigate the risk of displacement; and enhancing national capacity to effectively participate in regional, bilateral and global schemes on labour migration.
