Paragraph
Paragraph text
Widespread unethical recruitment practices have a significant impact on the systemic development benefits of labour migration. As recognized within the post-2015 sustainable development framework, the developmental impact of labour migration is huge. In 2013, migrants sent approximately $404 billion in remittances back home. Research shows that labour migration of low-wage workers can bring the biggest gains in poverty.
