Foreign labor markets offer an excellentopportunity to improve employment and income outcomes for acountry’s workforce. However, if a sending country’sworkforce abroad is overly concentrated in a few receivingmarkets, it runs the risk of becoming dependent onconditions within those markets for employment opportunitiesand remittances for its workforce. A more managed migrationapproach to select higher-income host countries promiseshigher and more regular levels of remittances per capitathrough more formal channels, with expectations of skillimprovements upon departure and after return. Currently,Afghanistan’s workforce abroad is highly concentrated inIran and Pakistan. This paper proposes a methodology forassessing potential expansion into new foreign labormarkets, and applies said methodology to potential new labormarkets for Afghan workers (including Malaysia, Europe,Australia, Central Asia, and Turkey, and expansion inPakistan, Iran, and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)countries). The findings indicate that GCC countries andTurkey are the most viable markets for absorbing Afghanworkers in the coming years.
