Migrant labour exploitation, care and inequality | LSE Research Showcase 2022

It took one of the world’s most draconian COVID-19 lockdowns in India in March 2020 to draw public attention not only to the plight but to the very existence of armies of vulnerable migrant workers – one hundred million people living and working hand-to-mouth in Dickensian conditions far away from their homes. But what is to be done to reform the systematic exploitation of migrant workers? Dr Alpa Shah and Dr Jens Lerche will discuss their ethnographic research into the hidden economies of care that support these workers and sustain the exploitative system, and why it is crucial in finding a political solution. 🔸 Alpa Shah, Jens Lerche "Migration and the invisible economies of care: Production, social reproduction and seasonal migrant labour in India" https://rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.c... 🔸 ILO report "Understanding patterns of structural discrimination of migrant and other workers in some countries of South and West Asia" https://www.ilo.org/global/publicatio...
