According to a 2021 study by the International Labor Organization (ILO) there are 169 million migrant workers in the world that compromise 4.9% of the global workforce in destination countries, making the worker relocation service very important. Of the 169 million migrant workers, 37.7% are found in Europe and Central Asia. There are many reasons why a worker would migrate to another country, the foremost being better job opportunities, the opening of new markets and the expansion of companies.
Migrant workers are also international migrants but that is not always the case. A migrant worker as defined by the ILO (2015) are all international migrants who are employed or unemployed and seeking work in the country in which they reside. An international migrant is any person who changes his or her country of habitual residence. (DESA, 1998)
A significant number of these migrant workers have the privilege of bringing their families with them to an unfamiliar place with a different culture, a different language and a different lifestyle. This is a big change for the migrant workers and his family and can cause great stress on all family members especially the children. But it is also an exciting moment in a family’s life.
