Legislative issues regarding public policy documents in the management of labor migration. The case of the Republic of Moldova

Abstract

The present research is conducted in a field that is at the crossroads of the disciplines of labor law, migration, and administrative law. The article will reflect some of the aspects of labor migration policies and policy documents with which the author interacts in his current activity, but especially as a result of the ex-post evaluation of the Migration and Asylum Strategy (2011 - 2020) as a National Consultant for the International Organization for Migration. As we will argue, the impact and role of policies and policy documents in the field of labor migration is little researched both nationally and internationally, however as we will mention in this article the role of the policy framework is significant for the field of labor migration. Also regarding the issue of protection of migrants’ rights, policy documents intervene in detail on aspects that are not regulated or are insufficiently covered by the current legal framework.
