Special Issue on Migrant Workers
Economic conditions in developing countries have created the need for a new wave of migrant workers, predominantly young workers.Migrant labor allows large companies to keep up with the changes in the market and fashions but still keep production inexpensive at home. Turnover rate in many of these migrant jobs is very high due to harsh working conditions. Migrants work in domestic occupations and construction, transportation sectors which are considered part of the informal sector and lack a degree of government regulation and protection. Minimum wages and work hour requirements are ignored and piece-rates are sometimes also implemented.
Women become involved in migrant labor for a number of reasons. The most common reasons are economic: the husband's wage is no longer enough to support the family. Other reasons include familial pressure, on a daughter, for instance, who is seen as a reliable source of income for the family only through remittances. Migrant labor of women also raises special concerns about children. There is concern that this may have negative psychological effects on the children left behind.
