Employers offering higher pay to incentivize migrant workers
Business owners are saying they're paying migrant workers more money as part of a push to attract workers amid a severe shortage. The hourly positions being filled by temporary visa holders are mostly in the restaurant, construction and hospitality industries. Santiago Perez, deputy editor for Latin America at The Wall Street Journal, joined "CBS News Mornings" with more on how the visa process is playing a major role in the shortage.

How do we stamp out exploitation of migrant workers - Webinar
Grattan Institute’s recent report shows that the exploitation of migrant workers in Australia remains widespread. It’s a problem that urgently needs fixing. So what should our governments do to stamp out exploitation of workers?
In this special Grattan Institute webinar, some of Australia’s leading migration and employment policy experts discussed how to stamp out the exploitation of migrant workers, including changes to visas to make migrants less vulnerable to exploitation, stepping up the enforcement of workplace laws to better protect all workers, and helping workers to seek redress for underpayment.
Featuring Brendan Coates, Economic Policy Program Director, Joanna Howe, Professor, Sharmilla Bargon, Senior Solicitor at Redfern Legal Centre in Sydney, and Allan Fels, Professor of La...

Why The U.S. Won’t Put Immigrants To Work
In 1986, Congress passed the Immigration Reform and Control Act, which made it extremely difficult to hire people to work without authorization in the U.S. Today the U.S. has more than 9 million open roles and only 5.8 million job seekers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Meanwhile, millions of people are in limbo, waiting to immigrate to the U.S. and even more are likely to come as climate change drives more people to migrate. While immigration alone is unlikely to fix the worker shortage, many advocates think it could help alleviate the labor crisis.

Is our 'addiction' to cheap foreign labour hurting young people? | About That
The number of temporary foreign workers hired in Canada ballooned over the last two years — particularly in food and retail industries — and the youth unemployment rate has soared alongside it. Andrew Chang explains the government changes that led to the hiring spike, and why economists believe it's having a serious impact on both young job seekers and the broader economy.

Global Initiative Webinar - Responsible Recruitment vs Human Trafficking of Migrant Workers
Public and private employment agencies, when appropriately regulated, play an important role in ensuring opportunities for productive employment and decent work, and promoting the efficient and equitable functioning of labour markets.
However, concerns have been raised about the growing role of unscrupulous recruitment intermediaries exploiting migrant workers through deception about the nature and conditions of work; retention of passports; deposits and illegal wage deductions; debt bondage linked to repayment of recruitment fees; threats if workers want to leave their employers, coupled with fears of subsequent expulsion from a country. A combination of these abusive practices can lead to conditions of human trafficking for forced labour.

Public and private employment agencies, when appropriately regulated, play an important role in ensuring opportunities for productive employment and decent work, and promoting the efficient and equitable functioning of labour markets.
However, concerns have been raised about the growing role of unscrupulous recruitment intermediaries exploiting migrant workers through deception about the nature and conditions of work; retention of passports; deposits and illegal wage deductions; debt bondage linked to repayment of recruitment fees; threats if workers want to leave their employers, coupled with fears of subsequent expulsion from a country. A combination of these abusive practices can lead to conditions of human trafficking for forced labour.
Employers face direct liability if a victim is recruited into the company or into one of its subsidiaries. This can happen whether or not the company is aware of it, or whether or not its own management or Human Resources Department or a third-party labour provider is at fault. At the level of global brands and the first tier of supply chains, forced labour and human trafficking can often be hidden from view, the result of complex and frequently outsourced recruitment and hiring practices. Employers can also be indirectly linked to trafficking. This refers to actions by suppliers, sub-contractors and business partners, where the operations of otherwise independent companies can place the reputations of global brands at risk. In this case, supply chain insecurity linked to human trafficking grows as contracting and sub-contracting grow, for example in the global garment and electronics industries. Whether directly or indirectly implicated, risks for business can be legal, reputational, trade-related and finance- or investment-based.
This webinar addresses the following questions: How can recruitment entities be effectively monitored? How can employers efficiently and successfully screen recruiters? What are the most promising practices in addressing this issue? And how can public policy play a key role in combatting exploitation of workers by recruiters?
More information on this webinar series on "THE PRIVATE SECTOR COUNTERING HUMAN TRAFFICKING: Supply chain management, labour standards and human trafficking" can be found on our website: http://globalinitiative.net/
