- W4297839851 abstract "Labor reforms enacted in Qatar in 2015 failed to provide meaningful protection to low-paid migrant workers. Despite several years of sustained criticism over its mistreatment of migrant workers, who continue to arrive in huge numbers and are acutely vulnerable to trafficking and forced labor, the reforms still require workers to secure their employer's permission to change jobs or leave the country, preventing them from leaving abusive situations. Having previously placed few restrictions on the activities of international media, authorities detained and interrogated two groups of foreign journalists who were attempting to report on migrant workers’ living and working conditions.Less than 10 percent of Qatar's population of 2.1 million are Qatari nationals, and the country is increasingly dependent on migrant labor as Qatar continues to build stadiums and develop infrastructure as it prepares to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup. In 2015, it had the fourth highest population growth rate in the world; according to the most recent statistics, nearly 80 percent of the population is male.Low-paid migrant workers, mostly from countries in Asia and to a lesser extent Africa, continue to be abused and exploited. Workers typically pay exorbitant recruitment fees and employers regularly take control of their passports when they arrive in Qatar. Many migrant workers complain that their employers fail to pay their wages on time, if at all.The kafala (sponsorship) system ties a migrant worker's legal residence to their employer or sponsor. The system also requires that foreign workers obtain exit permits from their sponsors when they wish to leave Qatar; in practice, this enables employers to arbitrarily prevent their employees from leaving Qatar and returning to their home country." @default.
