Middle East & N. Africa: Wage protections key for states to "build back better" as intl. recruitment resumes post COVID-19, say ILO advisory group

"COVID-19 Pandemic: Wage protection of migrant workers in the Arab States" 15 June 2021

Even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, migrant workers faced critical wage-related issues globally, and especially in the Arab States, yet the scale of the problem has vastly increased as the pandemic led to job losses, salary reductions and unplanned repatriations.

... ILO standards, including the Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95), can support countries in the region to “build back better” – not only through more robust systems of wage protection, but also through non-discriminatory wage-setting with regard to workers of different nationalities as international recruitment resumes. Governments in the Arab States can support fair remuneration and regular payment of wages by urgently strengthening access to justice mechanisms and promoting equal treatment in respect of remuneration including equal remuneration for work of equal value, particularly for migrant domestic workers.
