ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON MIGRANT WORKERS IN INTERNATIONAL SUPPLY CHAINS

While the 164 million migrant workers globally are already vulnerable to exploitation and abuse, many among them risk being hit hardest by the negative impacts of COVID-19 pandemic. Businesses that employ migrant workers play an important role during emergency situations by mitigating human rights risks. This survey is designed to help businesses monitor the impact of the COVID-19 on employers and migrant workers and guide the development of effective measures that can be taken by employers and their business partners. This COVID-19 Employer Survey has been produced by IOM’s Corporate Responsibility in Eliminating Slavery and Trafficking (CREST) Initiative. We encourage businesses to share consolidated findings and suggestion for improvement directly with us (iom_crest@iom.int). This will help guide IOM’s programming to assist migrant workers, governments and businesses before, during and after health epidemics.
