Abstract
People who belongs to underdeveloped and developing countries, focus on getting employment in
different developed countries. In the recent past years the number of people working in different
countries has increased dramatically. In Pakistan it’s a trend of moving to different countries to
get better employment opportunities. For employment Hong Kong, Singapore, UAE, and Saudi
Arabia are considered as the favorable countries for the Pakistanis. Despite the fact, these countries
don’t offer favorable and secured working environment to the immigrants, but still people prefer
to go there for better earnings. Employment issues such as low wage rate, preference to residents,
absence of contractual nexus, and sexual abuse etc. are common. This study aims to identify the
major gaps in the implementation of laws regarding immigrant work force and the conditions of
immigrants working in these countries. The study is qualitative and the respondents are those who
have work experience of minimum three years. The results of this study shows that employers
hardly follow labor laws for the immigrant work force, where as some countries have a clear policy
which is enforced by their government. There is a dire need to do legislation regarding the rights
of immigrant workforce and its implementation.
