dc.description.abstract |
The contribution made by labour migrants, particularly in the Middle East, makes an enormous impact on boosting the economy of the country. Despite this, they remain under appreciated, and even discriminated both socially and culturally in the host country as well as at home. The Bureau of Foreign Employment was set -up to promote and regulate migration and thus was the focal point in all matter of migration including the protection and welfare of workers. This report analyses the present legal and administrative provisions and policies and also its participation in international conventions related to the protection and welfare of migrant workers, particularly women and their families. The problems faced by female women workers are also highlighted. |
