The global supply chain has endured years of withering abuse and strain with little reprieve. These days, the foundations of the global supply chain and global labour pool are beginning to buckle, unleashing a humanitarian and financial crisis that could easily have deadly consequences. Mismanaging our supply chain, undervaluing the role of labourers in the modern economy, and seeking short-term fixes for long-standing problems are at the root of the issue. Here’s how a renewed appreciation for better labour standards can prevent economic catastrophe. COVID-19, Greed, And A Dismal Labour Scene The current supply chain and labour catastrophe is the result of numerous simultaneous developments. In addition to a devastating global pandemic that has seriously frustrated the flow of people and goods across international borders, the supply chain and labour crisis was years in the making. The painful fact of the matter is that labour shortages have been developing across cri...

  The ongoing migrant crisis in Europe continues to challenge government officials, NGOs, and private businesses desperately trying to manage the flow of people across borders. While some temporary measures have helped authorities regain control, a long-term solution to disorganized and dangerous migration is sorely needed. WIth the Joblio platform, we can halt the migrant crisis and establish a more sensible migration system. Here’s how Joblio’s revolutionary technology can make migration more manageable. Hundreds are missing or dead Each year, tens of thousands of migrants are arriving in Europe from the sea, though not all of them manage to complete this perilous voyage. According to UN data , nearly 600 were reported missing or dead from sea-based crossings in 2019 alone. Without immediate and serious action on the part of government officials and European businesses, this grim figure may keep rising. “We have been far too ambivalent about the wellbeing of mig...

You can take the refugee out of the refugee camp, says Jon Purizhansky , but you’ll never erase the pain of that experience. The Buffalo-based attorney-turned-tech entrepreneur is using his history as fuel to build a social enterprise startup that helps protect transient employees from predatory middlemen. Joblio, launched a year ago, is a global talent marketplace for migrant workers. As it currently stands, workers in underdeveloped areas have to take out loans to pay middlemen, who set them up with jobs that can range from cleaning to fruit-picking. The middlemen often over-promise and under deliver, leading to problems for the employees and their prospective employers. Joblio is a carefully managed software-as-a-service platform for those employers, who can connect directly with new pools of talent around the world (they only work with companies that provide free housing for the workers). And for the migrant workers themselves, it’s a free and transparent way to esca...

  Major tech companies have consistently misused the personal data of their users over the past few years. In the global migrant labour industry, many companies and governments have insufficiently guarded migrant data, allowing it to be leaked to the public or stolen by hackers. When it comes to hiring migrant labourers, ethical data management practices must become a priority. Companies that benefit from migrant labourers need strong humanist principles when it comes to data quality and management. Here’s how platforms like Joblio are ensuring migrant data isn’t being misused around the world. Migrant data has already been leaked Hundreds of thousands of migrants have already suffered from inappropriate data management practices that exposed their personal information to the world. According to a report from the Guardian, the personal details of at least 774,000 migrants and aspiring migrants to Australia was made publicly accessible following a data breach. Govern...

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...
