migration- impacts on migrants

Question 1

4 problems migrants face (india to qatar)

Answer 1

Human rights groups, including Amnesty International, have criticised Qatar’s treatment of foreign workers, who are not granted the same rights as locals

Amnesty International stated that many migrant workers were living in squalid, overcrowded and dangerous accommodation with fires common and poor ventilation in the hot desert summer

Workers are also forced to pay huge recruitment fees and there are numerous reports of workers having wages withheld, or not paid at all, and their passports confiscated

An estimated 6,500 migrant workers have also died on construction sites where health and safety regulations are weak, and labourers have limited protection from heatstroke when temperatures can exceed 45°C
