mainly due to the long border between the countries, it is important that the legal route
become affordable and convenient. It is proposed that the cost of USD700 be lowered to
USD300 and the process be hastened by both governments. Of the USD700, USD480 is
������ ��� �������������� ������ ������� ������� ��������� ���� ������� ����������� ������� ���
reduced from USD150 to USD50 and USD220 to USD40, respectively (Table 4.2). This
would reduce the costs in Cambodia from USD480 to USD200. The income of recruitment
agencies of USD70 would be retained. The grey area is other expenses, which are unknown.
The amount of USD220 is the result of subtracting the known expenses from USD700.
It includes fees to brokers at various levels. Also, part of it could go to the recruitment
agencies and part to other government agencies. It is understandable that it is not
realistic to eliminate this cost, but it should be reduced to USD40 in total to cut down the
cost of the legal route and convince many workers to embark on it.
