‘Whether you go illegally or legally in the end it’s the same, you’re cheated’ - A study of formal and informal recruitment practices of Lao workers migrating to Thailand

The research presented in this report would not have been possible without the cooperation of numerous individuals, organisations, and companies. The research team is particularly indebted to the returned migrants and their families who have all sacrificed precious time in order to cooperate with the research. A similar expression of thanks goes out to representatives of the recruitment agencies, government officials at all levels and other stakeholders and key-informants that were interviewed. Lastly, the research team would like to express thanks to the participants in the Bangkok workshop and the Vientiane workshop who provided valuable comments on the early research findings and the first draft of the report.
