The Price of Rights, 08/2013Book Chapter
In most high-income countries, the majority of migrant workers are admitted and employed under TMPs that in one way or another restrict migrants’ rights. The rights of migrant workers that are most frequently restricted include the right to free choice of employment, social rights (i.e., equal access to public services and welfare benefits), the right to permanent residence and citizenship, and the right to family reunion. In countries that are not liberal democracies, such as the GCC countries and Singapore, some migrant workers employed under temporary labor immigration programs are also denied some basic civil and political rights.
