Migrant labour plays a crucial role in both developed and developing communities. Nevertheless, the migrant labour community is frequently misunderstood by the companies, governments, and international organizations which depend upon the free movement of workers. The unique challenges these labourers face in the workplace are seldom understood by the businesses and publics which benefit from their presence. It’s past time that we make sense of the migrant labour community that’s so vital for the growth of the global economy. Policy makers and business leaders must dedicate additional attention and resources toward migrant labour communities, a process that begins by understanding the plight of impoverished workers. Migrant labour Continues to Rise The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted immigration patterns and disrupted both domestic and international supply lines of goods and labour. Nevertheless, recent years have proven that migrant labour continues to ri...

Employers around the world depend upon migrant labour for growth, but this hasn’t halted the exploitation of migrants in vulnerable situations. Unethical middlemen continue to prey upon the same labourers who are responsible for substantial economic growth across the globe. Domestic entrepreneurs that ostensibly seek the best for migrant labourers often partake in unethical recruitment processes, believing they’ll derive a competitive advantage from lowballing workers. When it comes to perpetuating unethical recruitment in the global migrant labour industry, there’s little for employers to gain and much to lose. Employers must come to understand that enforcing ethical recruitment standards is both an ethical imperative and a commercially savvy tactic, says Jon Purizhansky , the founder of Joblio, Inc, a technological platform that connects workers and employers. Exploited workers are unproductive workers Some unethical employers believe they can gain a leg up on the compe...

The migrant labor market continues to contribute to the economic growth in both developing and developed regions. Jon Purizhansky , the founder of Joblio.co , points out that the important role played by migrant laborers in the international economy, many companies, governments, and international organizations lack information about the industries that these workers contribute to. Additionally, the origin points of many migrant laborers and the unique issues they face in the workplace are seldom understood by the businesses and ecosystems, which benefit from their presence. This international labor market analysis explores the origins and destinations of migrant laborers in the contemporary marketplace. It also illustrates which economic sectors are dependent upon migrant labor for continued growth, and discusses why policy makers and business leaders must dedicate additional attention and resources toward migrant labor communities.

  Joblio.co     is a social impact project that protects labor migrants globally and creates efficiency for employers and governments alike.   Jon Purizhansky   is the founder of Joblio, who points out the importance of the Montreal Recommendations for Recruitment. In 2020 the International Organization for Migration (IOM) published new guidelines for the recruitment and protection of migrant workers, stressing that these people are vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. Migrant workers can be vulnerable to abuse and exploitation during migration and employment due to factors including unethical recruitment, migration status, fear of deportation, or the inability to find alternative employment, particularly during the current COVID-19 crisis. It was for this reason, Jon Purizhansky says, that the IOM published new guidance for member states on the regulation of international recruitment and protection of migrant workers. The UN agency said in a statement that the...

  Joblio’s technology-based platform disrupts the current international labor migration industry by introducing transparent and new compliance methods, thereby optimizing operations and creating new revenues for employers. Today’s global labor migrant industry is a non-transparent, inefficient, and corrupt monolith run by shady middlemen who sell grossly misrepresented or even non-existent job opportunities to labor migrants. It is an understatement that the current system has multiple inefficiencies and losses. It causes pain to all the existing ecosystem members – employers, labor migrants, and governments alike. Migrant workers across various sectors, industries, and occupations face the risk of exploitation linked to unethical recruitment and employment practices that place workers in vulnerable situations, such as debt slavery or working in forced labor conditions. Joblio disrupts the status quo by introducing transparency, efficiency, and compliance. By introducing its  ...

  Dmitri Dubov:   And now we have here with us one of the leading specialists in the industry of global labor migration — American lawyer Jon Purizhansky. Hello Jon. Jon Purizhansky :  Hello Dmitri! Dmitri : You and your friend and colleague Mr. Dennis Vacco — former  N ew York State Attorney General, are frequent guests on our program War and Peace. I remember how at the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic, I asked you how this situation would affect the global landscape of labor migration. In your response, you predicted that country borders will eventually be more restricted and that in the future, we will need to have vaccination certificates to prove that you’re not carrying infectious diseases. Nowadays, we are seeing how governments, one after another, are issuing documents called “the green passports,” which will allow you to travel internationally. What are the other changes the industry of global labor migration has experienced over the last year? Jon : Acco...
