People are always learning, everywhere and throughout the course of their lives. Recognition of all types of learning can result in benefits in the labour market, formal education and training, financially and in terms of self-esteem. Across the world, countries increasingly recognize the value of informal and non-formal learning and many are establishing systems to acknowledge competencies gained through these modalities. Facilitating transitions from the informal to the formal economy as well as the growth in migration flows have led to greater calls for ILO assistance to constituents to establish, assess, and revise systems for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) across all regions.
This learning package draws from this experience. It describes the key building blocks of a well-functioning and inclusive RPL system, and offers a wealth of case studies and examples of how different countries have approached this endeavour. It is directed at a broad and mixed audience, including: ILO constituents, senior government officials, employers’ and workers’ organizations, assessors and facilitators.

More than two-thirds of all skilled migrants go to the US, the UK, Canada, and Australia, but they come from more than 100 countries. This affects the movement of real exchange rates in the source countries.
Building on an analytical model, we provide cross-country empirical evidence that net skilled emigration appreciates bilateral real exchange rates through the wage channel in source countries. Chains of causality in the presence of the Law of One Price run through the “spending effect” and the “resource allocation effect,” analogous to the remittance-based Dutch disease effect. A pricing-to-market model allows pass-through for both traded and nontraded prices when the Law of One Price is violated. The skilled emigration elasticity of real exchange rate is estimated to be in the range of between .6 and .8, with internal prices playing a dominant role. Alternative model specifications show robust outcomes.

While solid but slow progress has been made towards the goal of free labour mobility in ASEAN through the establishment of eight Mutual Recognition Arrangements (MRAs) that promote cross-border recognition of skills and qualifications, the ASEAN focus has been on highly skilled professions. The Tourism Professionals MRA is, however, an exception. It promotes regional recognition in 32 job areas, from entry to advanced worker levels.

The 4th RSTWG meeting was co-hosted by the TESDA, the Philippines and ILO. The meeting brought together national skills and SLOM focal points of ASEAN Member States, officials of the ASEAN Secretariat, members of the AQRF Committees, ATUC, ACE, and ILO to discuss a way forward for taking the work on Mutual Recognition of Skills (MRS) to a next stage with pilot implementation. Since 2014, the RSTWG meetings have been a forum for regional dialogue and
mutual learning for AMS to progress on MRS, assisting national efforts for strengthening the skills and certification systems to preparing themselves for MRS implementation. The MRS initiative with a focus on low-to-middle skilled workers responds to the AEC’s vision of achieving free flow of skilled workers, and complements with the MRA that has a focus on high skilled profession.
