Recruitment Practices And Migration Policies: Structural Drivers Of Migrant Worker Exploitation
Authors : Aldabbas Aya .
Abstract
Migrant workers continue to experience exploitation despite the existence of legal protections under both domestic and international law. This article argues that the continued vulnerability of migrant workers is not primarily attributable to the absence of legal rights, but rather to two structural issues: recruitment practices and migration policies. Through an analysis of international legal standards and selected national approaches, the article examines how unfair recruitment practices and restrictive employer-tied migration policies create dependency on employers and undermine workers' ability to exercise their rights. It concludes that strengthening the protection of migrant workers requires not only legal guarantees but also reforms to recruitment governance and migration policies that address the structural conditions enabling exploitation.
