Risk no matter

SINCE few centuries ago, people have been moving from one place to another with the prospect of a better life and this practice is still applying to modern people these days. These days, working oversea job is a favorite among the third world countries. In fact the first world countries people also need to go and work and it is relatively less number and can be ignored. If the first world countries people go abroad for jobs, they are called expatriate who earn a lot or more than local residents. On the other hand, when the people from third world countries go abroad for jobs, they are called foreign workers and they earn the least amount of the market.

No matter how much they earn, these lowest salaries are still good for them and they keep dreaming to go and work at oversea. As far as I know all the people who want to go abroad needs to approach agents and of course have to pay significant amount of agent fees. It apply to all third world countries workers I believe. I have met several countries workers in my workplaces during my time in oversea. The formula seems the same regardless of countries. So it'ld be first risk in getting agent fees with huge interest rate. It drive people to the corner after entering to the another country because their heavy loan always threaten them not to fail in doing oversea work. They, themselves, also afraid of return home before they earn at least agent fees plus interest.

It would be the biggest reason of being bullish ed by their oversea employer. Being construction worker myself, I generally know about the construction worker's trouble. In fact, construction sector is the biggest market for the foreign workers and mostly the local workers shun to do this dirty, dangerous and dynamic job. Being foreign workers, it doesn't matter as long as they get their wages in time. They have little choice or no choice to select and they need to do whatever their employer demand. They would need to work without safety assurance or dangerous area. If they are involved in some incidents they would be paid for a smallest amount of compensation fees. The law is nothing for them since they are inferior and don't know the nature of their working country. Few percentage of workers might get their respective embassy's counseling service once they fall in trouble.

Some of workers became illegal workers from legal workers because of so many reasons. Most of them are due to unbearable and injustice treatment by their employer. Their passport would be kept by employer from the day one of they land in new country until their final day of the same country. So it's not possible to work as a legal worker if they don't want to work at the designated company. Nobody want to become an illegal worker if they are treated properly. I am sure that most of illegal workers might think that it is worthy enough to take all kind of risks as an illegal workers. The corruption police & immigration officers make their life dare to stay with illegal workers. So it's not strange that there are no illegal workers in the law-governing country like Singapore. The workers who have only experience in Singapore unlikely to know the life of illegal workers as their life is mostly smooth and covered by the strict law.
