Mig igrant workers an and COVID-19 19 Implications of COVID-19 for migrant workers and their families*: • There are 164 million international migrant workers worldwide, representing 4.7% of global labour pool (2.2 billion workers). In many countries, migrant workers represent a larger share of the workforce and carrying out many essential jobs (services, construction, agriculture and agro-food processing). • Increased vulnerability for migrant workers as they are concentrated in sectors of the economy with high levels of temporary, informal or unprotected work, characterized by precarious work conditions (low wages and worsening working conditions). • Migrant workers are often excluded from national COVID-19 policy responses such as wage subsidies, unemployment benefits and other social protection measures. * ILO (April 2020).
