The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the workplace 2016, para. 27
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
Globalization is taking place in the context of the largest migration of people in human history, from rural to urban areas, within countries and across borders. According to recent ILO estimates, the world has 150.3 million migrant workers. An estimated 112.3 million of them (74.7 per cent) are in high-income countries. They migrate to support their families and improve their future, but their lack of rights and agency in the workplace often leaves them, and their children, mired in poverty.
