Abstract:
Overseas workers play very important role in the economy of the both host and origin country. Host countries generally accept workers due to the shortage of labour or in those sectors in which their citizens don’t prefer to work. On the other hand, unemployed people from origin countries in expectation of employment and better salary migrate to the host countries. Thus they keep the wheel of economy rotating and development of the host and origin country in balance. Most of the host countries deal with the issues of workers by labour law whether its own or other countries citizens. However, the differences between written laws of different countries and the process of implementation have always been a barrier for upholding their legal rights. Different international organisations made laws to set the basic standards to ensure their rights, but the role of these organisations as well as national authorities in case of implementation is questionable. For this reason, the situation surrounding to the implementation and ensuring their rights is getting more and more complex and questionable. The goal of this paper is to provide a depth discussion of the situation of overseas workers from the perspective of Bangladesh.
