The focus was on the role of human resource development in the economic progress being achieved by the Asian countries bordering the Pacific Ocean. Separate attention is given to demographic trends in the region changes in labor force participation education and health and aging. (ANNOTATION)

Changing attitudes to labour migration in the post-colonial era made much of this movement illegal, possibly increasing trafficking as a proportion of total migration. Changes in both the supply of and demand for female labour, partly due to changes in gender roles in industrialized and developing countries, have also increased the proportion of women and children in migration streams, and therefore of women and adolescent girls being trafficked. The role of livelihood opportunities for women and girls in the prevention of trafficking must be seen within the total economic and social context of migration and trafficking. The relevant livelihood opportunities may be located in developed or developing economies, and macroeconomic policies in both developed and developing countries may contribute to their creation or destruction, as well as to whether they have a negative or positive impact on migration and trafficking. Prevention calls for an integrated and multi-sectoral approach that addresses migration and trafficking within the context of overall national and development policy. However, many countries of origin do not regard trafficking, gender mainstreaming or human rights as development priorities, while trafficking is not widely recognized as related to the global macroeconomic environment and to specific macro policies in both countries of origin and destination. An integrated approach to combating trafficking through gender-sensitive and rights-based approaches to providing livelihoods for women might be explored through multi-sectoral strategies. The impact of the conventional macroeconomic policy framework at both the national and international levels in industrialized, as well as developing economies, in denying women’s human rights, and thus creating the conditions for illegal migration and trafficking also needs to be taken into account. Although the implications of this may be politically difficult to address, emerging tendencies in both population and economic policy provide cause for hope.

A UNIFEM review of work on gender statistics identified two major limitations. Much of the data that have been collected and disseminated are not being used in policy processes, and little has been done to engender economic statistics. The
majority of existing and potential users have limited technical capacity to use gender statistics effectively, and most national statistics offices have limited capacity to present data in user-friendly ways or to support new users and emerging uses. In terms of engendering economic statistics, the 1993 extended production boundary for the SNA generally has not been implemented, although gaining a better understanding of women’s economic activities within the extended boundary is one of the key gender issues for policy makers. This paper, representing collaboration among UNIFEM, the UNDP
regional gender project APGEN and ESCAP Statistics Division, reviews recent developments in time use studies and data collection on the informal sector and homeworkers from a gender perspective. It recommends several methodological
approaches that seem to create greater potential to address gender as well as other substantive issues, and encourages capacity building in the use of gender statistics in national policy processes among both users and producers.

Women and men migrants have different resources, move to different destinations and work in different sectors, and experience different living and working conditions. Because women’s and men’s experiences are so different, a gender perspective is an essential tool for understanding the causes and consequences of international migration and developing effective policy responses. However, a lack of data makes it difficult for policy makers to identify and incorporate the specific gender differences relevant to a particular policy and planning context. While the need for a gender perspective in economic policy making and development planning is now more generally recognized, just what this means in practical terms and how to achieve it remains unclear. This manual seeks to assist development policy makers and planners to mainstream a gender perspective in integrating migration into national development planning by addressing this gap.
