Background
Overview
UPSC examines issues related to labor rights, social justice, migration, and the challenges faced by vulnerable sections of society, both domestically and internationally. This case study provides a historical and contemporary example of migrant worker exploitation.
Migrant workers, particularly low-skilled and domestic laborers, often face significant vulnerabilities including exploitation, wage theft, and lack of social protection, especially in host countries and during times of crisis or conflict. International labor laws and national policies aim to protect their rights, but implementation remains a challenge.
