As women migrate from low-income to G20 countries to undertake key service functions, the G20 should uphold women’s human rights and fair work conditions. G20 countries can support migrant women workers through technical and information exchange, giving voice, and partnership with source countries to certify migration agents, provide social assistance and establish reintegration programmes. G20 can also support migrants in their own countries by providing standard employment contracts, securing access to health services and ensuring accessible redress mechanisms.14 pagesen© The authorsCOVID 19female migrantsgenderpolicyReducing vulnerability and precarity of low-skilled women in short-term migration from the global south: Key policy recommendations for the G-20ReportANZSRC::380111 Labour economicsANZSRC::350502 Employment equity and diversityANZSRC::440705 Gender, policy and administrationANZSRC::440599 Gender studies not elsewhere classifiedANZSRC::470211 Migrant cultural studies
