The present scoping paper aims to achieve the following: 1. Stock-taking of current labour migration and mobility trends observed within and between North Africa and Europe, with special attention given to socioeconomic vulnerabilities and protection gaps, and how these challenges may be addressed regional stakeholders more broadly; 2. Identification of lessons learned and space for further research relative to labour migration trends, taking into consideration the future of work; 3. Formulation of concrete and pragmatic policy recommendations based on the contribution to strengthening legal pathways for labour migration and the protection of migrant workers sustainably in times of crisis.
