Chapter 6
Labor Emigration and Rights Abroad
The Perspectives of Migrants and Their Countries of Origin
Labor immigration policies are “made” in migrant-receiving countries, but they have important consequences for migrants and their countries of origin. This chapter looks at two interrelated questions. How do high-income countries’ restrictions of labor immigration and migrant rights affect the interests of migrants along with their countries of origin? How have migrants and sending countries engaged with these restrictions in practice?
These questions are of central importance to this book’s analysis because the interests of migrants and sending countries can play a crucial role in supporting, sustaining, or undermining particular labor immigration policies in high-income countries. Understanding how migrants and sending countries are affected by—and respond to—particular restrictions on migration and rights is also critical to any ethical/normative evaluation of particular policy regimes. The ethics of labor immigration policy will be examined in the next chapter.
The discussion in this chapter is divided into two parts. The first explores how emigration and rights impact on migrant workers, and how migrants have in practice responded to the labor immigration policy regimes they face. The second half of the chapter concentrates on the effects for sending countries, and reviews selected examples of major sending countries’ engagements with high-income countries’ policies on the admission and rights of migrant workers.
