dc.description.abstract	With over 1.5 million women migrant workers abroad, social insurance is an essential requisite in order to provide security and protection to the workers and their families. The article provides some information on the social insurance schemes available to them. The setting up and administration of the schemes available is overseen by the Sri Lankan Bureau of Foreign Employment. The measures taken are indeed laudable and worthy of emulation by other countries, and the paper provides recommendations to further strengthen the resources provided to the workers.	en_US
