1 IN 20 WORKERS IS A MIGRANT WORKER
There are 169 million migrant workers in the world meaning 1 in 20 workers is a migrant worker.
Migrant workers are a ubiquitous feature of global supply chains and a vital part of the global economy.
The absence of global, regional, or even bilateral policy agreements on the global movement of labour between countries of origin, transit, and employment creates governance gaps that leave migrant workers vulnerable to human rights abuse.
Any business enterprise that uses migrant workers either directly or in extended supply chains must undertake appropriate human rights due diligence to ensure the rights of those workers are respected.
