ECONOMICAL

According to the Bangladesh Economic Review, remittances came from the Middle East
countries down 5.17 per cent year-on-year. Economical factor is considered to be the
main impetus motivating many Indonesian labor migrants to migrate abroad to improve
their own their families' economic status. Some problem issues may arise for migrant
workers, of Bangladesh's migrant workers becoming classified as less skilled as well as
possessing little education and poor access to information, the disappointment from
poverty may create cloud of basic awareness and judgment.

POLITICAL

In the last nine years, during the two consecutive government regimes, nearly 52 lakh
Bangladeshi workers have been given overseas jobs. Recently, the Government re-
fixed the highest migration costs to 16 countries. Political changes that also limit
migrants' access to Bangladesh Overseas labor markets, where tens of thousands of
Bangladeshis worked before 2011, all of these factors can lead to an abrupt reduction in
temporary labor migrants in the country and thus have an impact on the overall
remittance flows.

PROBLEM

Bangladeshis are frequently faced with rather poor working conditions and inhumane
treatment due to their low skills at their respective destinations. Migrants who work at
their employers' homes as maids and domestic helpers are often subjected to sexual
harassment and even rape. Migrating labs faces housing issues. They've got to live
unhygienic way with this.
