Labor Migration

Labour migration is defined as the movement of persons from their home State to
another State for the purpose of employment.

Labor migration refers to migration for the main purpose of employment. Labor migrants often work in the informal sector and are usually exposed to abuses resulting from xenophobia and racism. They lack legal protection and insufficient information about their rights makes them vulnerable to exploitation and abuse from recruiters, employers, and authorities.
