Young Workers: Why is migration an issue for you?

Trade unions protect migrant workers’ rights and promote international solidarity among workers worldwide. Trade unions are also concerned about social justice and the impact of migration on brain drain in developing countries. The quality of public services in developing countries suffers because developed countries are not investing in training and retention of their own nationals, particularly in the health and education services.

These issues particularly affect young workers and women, both as workers and as users of health services.
