my dad was a sea fearer for 30 years he was gone 8-10months every year. because of his sacrifice my mom me and my bro lived a comfortable life and both of me and my bro was put up with college. i never knew that being a migrant worker was especially hard to individual who is doing work until I was assigned in US for an IT work for 6 yrs. i found a new level of respect to my dad who did that consistently done that for 30 yrs. cheers from the Philippines
我父亲当了30年的海员,他每年都有8至10个月不在家。由于他所做出的牺牲,我母亲,我以及我的兄弟过上了舒适的生活,我和我兄弟都上了大学。直到我被分配到美国,在那里干了6年IT工作之后,我才意识到一名外来务工人员的经历是如此的苦难。我对父亲的尊敬达到了一个全新的高度,他一直干了30年。来自菲律宾的欢呼。
Rich countries need cheap laborers and someone they can look down when they’re bored.
富裕国家需要廉价劳动力,此外他们还能在自己无聊时看低这些移民工人。

Also it's a questionable form of love and hate relationship. It's like they love them when they need them yet they also hate them at same time. But who's really willing to do the so called rich nations' undesirable jobs without the migrants?
这是一种值得被质疑的爱憎关系。当本地人需要这些移民时,便会喜欢他们,但同时本地人又憎恨着这些移民工人。不过如果没有这些工人的话,所谓富裕国家的那些不受欢迎的工作又得谁去干呢?
LM wtf you think they hire migrants so when they get bored they can look down on them? It's all about money mate
哈哈,你竟然认为他们雇佣移民工人是为了在自己无聊时看不起他们?一切都是为了钱,兄嘚。
The entire economies of Singapore, Qatar, and Dubai would collapse into oblivion if not for their massive exploitation of cheap foreign labor.
如果新加坡,卡塔尔以及迪拜无法大规模剥削廉价的外国劳动力的话,那么这些国家的整个经济都会垮掉。
That's cause they dont believe in human rights. Western countries are doing the same.
那是因为他们不相信人权,西方国家也在做着同样的事情。
@MrManny nah, Dubai & Qatar are worse, human labors from India, Bangladesh etc. are treated worse animals; from sieging their passports to hiding deaths on construction sites..pretty common in UAE, the irony is that the Royals know this but still don't intervan
@MrManny不,迪拜和卡塔尔更加糟糕,来自印度和孟加拉国等国家的移民工人在那里遭受非常恶劣的对待;从扣押护照到隐瞒工地死亡事故,这些现象在阿联酋十分常见,讽刺的是,这些事情王室都知道,但他们仍然不出手干预。
Because businesses want to increase profit margins, and one of the easiest ways to do that is to reduce your labour costs. This is why lay-offs are usually the first thing done in a company when their are losses. If you invest in your own citizenry by providing them with training and education and pay them a livable wage then you don't need migrant workers, or at least, you need them a hell of a lot less.But that also means less profit and returns to investors that probably already have enough money to last them 10 lifetimes
因为企业想要提高利润率,而最简单的办法就是降低劳动力成本。这就是为何当企业亏损时,他们做的第一件事情通常都是裁员。如果你投资自己的公民,为他们提供培训和教育,并给他们提供一份足以维持生活的工资的话,那么这个国家便不会需要移民工人,或者说它对移民工人的需求便能大大减少。不过这将意味着投资者的利润和回报也将减少。虽然这些人
的钱可能已经够他们活10辈子了。
This clip mostly emphasized on why workers in poor countries have to migrate to rich countries? (which we all know already) instead of why the rich countries need them
这个视频主要是在强调为什么贫穷国家的工人不得不去富裕国家工作。(这其中的理由我们都已经知道了)而不是在解释为什么富裕国家需要他们。
That's why I appreciate the nationalism doctrine in Indonesia, to work in our own country and build our nation first, even built our hometown first. Indonesia has similar problems with India, Philippines, Mexico, Egypt, etc (low economy, cheap labors, etc) but we're less sending migrant workers abroad, indeed we sent migrant-worker to Middle Eastern and richer neighboring countries, but not as much as another migrant-worker exporter countries.And currently our government has planned to stop sending unskilled migrant workers to abroad, due to worker abused cases in middle east.
这便是我欣赏印尼民族主义的原因,我们在自己的国家工作,我们把建设自己国家,甚至是建设自己的家乡放在首位。印尼与印度,菲律宾,墨西哥,埃及等国有着类似的问题(经济低迷,劳动力廉价等),但我们向海外派遣的移民工人正变得越来越少。我们确实也有在向中东以及更富裕的邻国输出移民工人,但是和其他移民工人输出国相比并不算多。目前我们的政府已经计划停止将无技能移民工人送往国外,因为在中东发生了一系列虐待工人的案件。
I wish our economists and leaders would understand that concept here in South Africa.
我希望我们南非的经济学家和领导者也能够理解这个概念。
Not all migrant workers from Indonesia is unskilled. Lots of my family members studied abroad and now lives and works in singapore, US, etc as professional workers in office. There are at least a thousand Indonesians in Aussie. Mostly study and work professionaly. Indonesian news only cover stories about Indonesian migrant workers who work as maid or cheap labors, as there are lots and lots of professional migrant workers and business owners suceeding overseas, that are not covered by Indonesian news.
印尼输出的移民并非都是无技能的。我的很多家庭成员都去了国外留学,他们现在在新加坡,美国等地生活和工作,而且他们都是专业的办公室工作人员。澳大利亚至少有一千名印尼人。大部分都是去留学或者从事专业工作。印尼的新闻媒体只报道了那些印尼人去海外当女仆或者充当廉价劳动力新闻,然而有很多专业技术人才和印尼企业主在海外获得成功的消息却没有被媒体所报道。
Wow as indonesian i just knew this law thing exist
哇哦,作为一个印尼人,我刚刚才知道有这样的法规。

The vast majority of cases of worker exploitation that we have seen in Australia has been migrant workers being taken advantage of by their own country businessman.
我们在澳大利亚目睹的绝大多数移民工人被剥削的案件都是他们被自己国家的商人侵害了权益。
People wanting cheap McDonald's while refusing to work at McDonald's but still complaining about McDonald's services.
人们想要在麦当劳吃上廉价的食物,不过他们自己拒绝在麦当劳工作却依旧对麦当劳的服务抱怨不已。
Western countries need a lot of people whether that be refugees, migrants or some sort of other. The western economy thrives on cheap market labour or outsourcing as you would call it. So it is beneficial right now for the western countries to take in people and make good use of them as they are not a burden but an useful resource.
西方国家需要很多人,不论是难民,移民还是其他什么民。西方经济的繁荣依赖廉价的劳动力或者是你们所说的外包。所以对西方国家而言,吸收并充分利用这些人口是有益的,他们并非负担,而是有用的资源。
Middle East's 90% workforce is foreign it's higher than any western country
中东90%的劳动力都是外国人,这个比例比任何西方国家都要高
CNBC sure does know how to make a 1 minute video into a 9 minute video.
CNBC真是擅长把一个一分钟就能解释清楚的问题整成一个9分钟长的视频。
Is this really a question? The answer is simple: a cheap labor force that is often exploited and whose rights are not protected. Companies get to hurdle workers unxs and know the public won’t be invested in reports of the mistreatment of migrants. The public sees these workers as a threat to their employment. Companies skirts the blame and widens their profit margins.
这也算是一个问题?答案很简单:廉价劳动力经常被剥削,他们的权利得不到保护。公司阻挠工人工会,并且公众也不对移民工人受到虐待的新闻感兴趣。公众们认为这些工人对他们自己的就业造成了威胁。企业既规避了指责,又扩大了自身的利润空间。
I am sorry but I am going to be defensive. My country Bangladesh used to be one of the poorest nations in the world but thanks to remittance sent by migrant workers from Saudi and other gulf nations made our country a Middle Income nation today.
不好意思,但我得为他们辩护一下。我们国家孟加拉国曾经是世界上最贫穷的国家之一,但是由于身在沙特以及其他海湾国家的移民工人汇回来的钱,孟加拉国如今已经成为了一个中等收入国家。
some people in the developed world think they're doing right when accepting these people but in the end you're hurting more poor countries because young people migrate and stop working in their local economies. I don't want my people go to the US I want them to stay in my country to build because not all young people will have that privilege to migrate. Then I want things to improve in my country but if there're no people willing to work in the end we lose and the developed world wins more.
一些发达国家的人们认为自己接收这些人是在做好事,然而此举实际上对那些贫穷国家造成了更多的伤害,因为年轻人都出国了不再为本地经济做贡献。我不希望我的同胞去美国,我希望他们能留在本国建设自己的国家,因为并不是所有的年轻人都有移民的机会。我希望我们国家的情况能有所改善,因为要是没有人愿意留在这里工作的话,我们就完了,而发达国家则赢麻了。
Don't worry. They'll send money back home, at least for the Asians.
别担心,他们会把钱寄回来的,至少亚洲移民工人会。
In case of South Korea, our economy miracle came from that works like my father.He worked Saudi as construction woker.But now our family has good life becuase of his sacrifice.The important thing is Imigrant wokers should go back motherland!
就韩国而言,我们的经济奇迹正是源自我们父亲那一辈在海外的工作。他曾经在沙特做建筑工人,正是因为他所做出的牺牲,我们家现在过得很好。最重要的是,移民工人应该回到自己的祖国!
Its not just qatar that abuses workers the eastern europeans working in germany often get scammed by the agency's that hire them and even though most germans speak english they will make your life as difficult as possible if you don't speak german so most of europeans who speak their own language and english have to spend years learning a third language just to be able to find a normal job where they won't be scammed.
虐待移民工人的不只是卡塔尔,东欧工人在德国经常被雇佣他们的机构所欺诈,尽管大多数德国人都会说英语,但是如果你不会讲德语的话,他们会让你的生活变得非常艰难。所以这些工人不仅得掌握本国语言和英语,为了不被欺诈,还得被迫花几年时间去学习第三种语言。
德国迫切需要移民工人。一些在东欧国家投放招聘广告的德国机构说他们招收的工人没必要会说德语。然后他们把这些人带到德国,将他们安置在一些前不着村后不着店的地方。德国人胡乱给他们安排工作时间表,每天的工作时间都不相同。结果到结算工资时,这些工人往往只能拿到最低工资。因为这些机构会提交错误的工作以及加班时间,并指望移民工人不会发现。而且就算工人发现了他们的伎俩,他们也找不能够提供帮助的人。我说的不是那些高技能岗位,我说的是农民,肉类加工者以及仓库工人。这方面的报道有很多,德国政府也知道这些,然而他们不想做任何事情去控制或者禁止这些机构。就算你不会说德语,你最基本的工人权力还是应该得到保护的,这样的要求并不过分吧?
Filipinos are the citizens of the world. We are everywhere for different reasons but of course mainly for economics.
菲律宾人是世界公民。我们无处不在,每个人出国的原因各不相同,不过大多数都是出于经济原因。
I know for my country, Belgium, to sustain the social security system we need foreign blue colour workforce, we should be grateful and respectful towards them but it should be regulated on a legal basis. What can we do with refugee shepherds from Afghanistan who can't read nor write, how can they learn our language without knowledge of their own basic grammar. We don't have flocks of sheep to herd, Perhaps we can use them to chase the wolves and the wild boars to save our landscape designed gardens from uprooting
我知道我们国家比利时的情况,为了维持社会保障体系,我们需要外国的蓝领劳动力,我们应该感激并尊重他们,但是这一切都应该通过法律加以规范。我们能拿那些来自阿富汗的难民牧羊人怎么办呢?他们无法阅读,也不会写字。他们连本国语言的基本语法都搞不清楚,怎么可能学会我们的语言?我们这又没有羊群供他们放牧,也许我们可以安排他们去驱赶野狼和野猪,好让我们的景林花园免于被这些动物连根拔起。
