Ministerial Ordinance No. 650/231/88 concerning the regulation of the employment of foreigners in Burundi, 29 July 1988.

This Ordinance sets forth rules on the employment of foreigners in Burundi. It requires foreigners working in Burundi to have a work permit, applied for by the foreigner, if the foreigner is a resident of Burundi, and by the foreigner's employer, if the foreigner is not a resident. The permit is valid for one year and may be renewed. Foreigners who have been recognized as refugees or who have resided in Burundi for 15 years may obtain permits valid for five years, and the spouses of Burundi citizens and persons living in Burundi descended from a foreign father married to a Burundi citizen may obtain permanent permits. In addition, an employer desirous of hiring a foreigner must first receive authorization from the relevant Ministry. Such authorization is also valid for one year and renewable. Foreigners may not work in positions higher than those for which they were authorized unless they have acquired higher qualifications than they had when given a work permit and unless no Burundi citizen with the same ability for advancement exists. Foreign investors or their representatives need not receive authorization to work.

Decree No. 43 of 1988 on Conditions for granting work permits for foreigners, 8 March 1988.

This Decree provides that foreigners are not to be permitted to work in Egypt until they have obtained a work permit from the Office of Manpower and Training. In deciding whether to grant a work permit, the Office is to consider the following principles: 1) a foreigner should not be competing with Egyptian citizens who are equally or better qualified; 2) a foreigner must comply with regulations relating to skills and experience established by Egyptian law; and 3) a foreigner born and permanently resident in Egypt is to be given priority over other foreigners. The Office is also to consider the need of the Egyptian economy and of the specific place of work for the foreigner's work. The total number of foreigners employed is not to exceed 10% of the work force of any establishment, although exceptions can be made to this rule in the interests of the Egyptian economy. Exceptions to the provisions of this Decree can also be made for foreigners married to Egyptian citizens. In addition, persons of indeterminate nationality residing in Egypt at least 15 years and political refugees certified as such are to be given priority in employment. Under the Decree, employers are to keep a register of foreigners employed. Further provisions of the Decree relate to fees charged for work permits and the circumstances under which work permits can be withdrawn or forfeited.

"No TEBA...forget TEBA": the plight of Malawian ex-migrant workers to South Africa, 1988-1994.

"This article is about the process of socioeconomic transformation in rural Malawi. It examines the survival strategies and enterprising spirit of Malawian migrant workers and their households. It argues that the strategies of these people often went beyond survival in the provision of basic necessities.... In March 1988, the South African Chamber of Mines stopped a century-old tradition of recruiting migrant workers from Malawi. This has arrested and put to a halt a process of accumulation taking place in the households of the returned migrant workers in the rural economy. Thus, the effects of the retrenchment of the workers will spread from the migrant and his family through the economic and social wellspring of all sectors of rural communities and their commercial lives."
