Migrants, most of whom come from South Asia, account for about 85 per cent of the workforce, according to the Ministry of Labour. They are bound by the sponsor system that puts them at the mercy of their employers. They risk deportation if they try to organise trade unions or take strike action. These workers are generally hired for three to five year periods and work in very harsh conditions. Problems over unpaid wages have persisted. Domestic employees, especially women, are often mistreated.
