ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Policy Brief – Strengtnening Governance of Employment Outsourcing for Decent Work

- ASEAN has become a prominent outsourcing hub, specialising in areas such as customer support, IT, and manufacturing. This growth has been facilitated by regional comparative advantages, such as a skilled workforce and competitive labour costs.
- However, outsourced workers often face structural disadvantages, including lower wages, precarious employment, limited access to benefits, and inadequate workplace protections.
- While legal provisions for outsourced workers exist in some AMS, there are opportunities to improve their implementation.
