Migrant workers là gì

In 2019,there were 169 millioninternationalmigrant workers in theworldandthey constituted 4.9 per cent of thegloballabourforce in the destination countries(ILO, 2021). These international migrant workersmade upapproximately 69 per cent ofthe worlds international migrant populationof working age(aged 15 and over)in2019(ILO, 2021).

Crossing national borders to work is one of the key motivations behind international migration, whether driven by economic inequalities, seeking employment, or both. The additional impact of economic, political and environmental crises and shifting demographics, with ageing populations in some parts of the world and a youth bulge in others, contribute to rising labour migration (Ozel et al., 2017).
