Indian Workers Migration to GCC Countries: Problems and Challenges
Author : Dr. Rajeev Kumar
Abstract :
This research paper focuses on the problems and challenges faced by the Indian migrant workers to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The Gulf region has been a prominent destination for Indian migrants seeking employment opportunities and higher wages. However, this migration corridor involves complexities and hardships, which can have significant implications for the migrant workers, their families, and the sending and receiving countries. The primary objective of this study is to analyse and identify the key problems and challenges faced by Indian workers migrating to the GCC countries. The research examines various dimensions, including labour rights violations, exploitation, inadequate legal protection, and living conditions. The study also explores the social and cultural challenges that migrant workers encounter, such as discrimination, language barriers, and separation from their families. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the problems and challenges faced by Indian workers. It investigates the underlying factors contributing to these issues, including the kafala sponsorship system, recruitment practices, and the lack of effective mechanisms for dispute resolution and redress.
