The Gulf Labour Markets, Migration, and Population (GLMM) Programme at the Gulf Research Center (GRC) is pleased to announce:
Wednesday 8 July 2026 – 2 pm Arab Standard Time (AST)
The South Asia-Gulf corridor is one of the most dynamic labor migration routes in the world. Around 24 million foreign workers reside in the GCC, mainly from Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan. Most of them migrate to send money to their families back home. These workers are central to GCC economies, yet many remain excluded from adequate social protection. The webinar will assess recent policy changes in the Gulf and the South Asian countries; the difficulties migrant workers still face in accessing their rights, cope with legal restrictions, administrative hurdles, and limited portability of benefits; and the bilateral and multilateral efforts involving both countries of origin and destination to address these challenges.
