Based on the characteristics of convenience, autonomy, and equality, online self-media has become an important way for contemporary migrant workers to observe the world, understand society, examine themselves and express their demands. On the basis of the analysis of the domestic migrant works' concerns and their emotion analysis, we crawl data on Weibo about migrant works' topics as the basic corpus of migrant works' concerns, and then uses a combination of TF-IDF and Word2Vec methods to construct a recognition model of migrant workers' concerns. We found that wages, children's education, medical care and returning home are the main concerns of migrant workers. Meanwhile, further emotion analysis of the migrant works' concerns of using a deep learning model fused with Bi-LSTM and CNN was conducted. The results show that the proportion of negative emotion such as worries, complaints and impetuosity was significantly higher than that of other positive and neutral emotion like encourage and comfort. And the time when the negative emotion are concentrated is significantly related to the social events that occur in the corresponding time period. On the one hand, it shows that the concerns and emotion of migrant workers can be effectively observed and predicted through web text data. On the other hand, it also shows that the core well-being issues of migrant workers in the process of urban integration have not been effectively solved, and the government and relevant departments need to take targeted measures and give priority attention.

This present study analyzes the role played by the media during the controversy between Government of Pakistan and its Supreme Court in 2012. This study is particularly focused on the issues pertinent to the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) case. It employed content analysis as research study and quantitatively examined the columns in the Pakistani newspapers; including, Dawn and Daily Jang for the one year time period in the year 2012. A conflicting relationship has been found between the government and judiciary concerning the National reconciliation ordinance (NRO). It was concluded that Dawn and Daily Jang, both newspapers, follow the same agenda about the NRO issue as both of these newspapers offered negative coverage of this issue. Compared to Jang, Dawn was more inclined to the negative framing of judiciary, and Jang was inclined to the negative reporting of government performance. Hence, the Pakistani Print media has framed the issues negatively between the government and the judiciary. Frequent negative slants were observed in Urdu newspaper as compared to English newspaper.

The Impact

The impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the daily wage workers and migrants has been largely unsettling and it has pushed our economy to recession. Wages have an important role in maintaining the livelihood and the well-being of the work force. According to Jules Backman, a fluctuation in wage rates stands as a great concern to everyone in the economy. To a worker, wage is an important source of livelihood, to a businessman wage symbolizes cost and in the eyes of the government, wage is represented as potential taxes. Therefore, any alterations in the worker’s livelihood can cause an adverse impression on the economy. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has drained the livelihoods of millions of daily wage workers and migrants and their socio-economic conditions have also been shaken. This study will elucidate the disputes confronted by the daily wage workers and migrants. Two surveys have been conducted for this study. Study 1: A survey was taken among 130 daily wage workers to understand the Problems encountered by them. Study 2: To highlight the difficulties faced by the migrants, a survey was taken among 100 migrants. The research work is based on primary source of data collected by interviewing the daily wage and migrant workers of Coimbatore and Tirupur districts of Tamil Nadu.

Background: Nepal is a growing supplier of migrant labour for factories in Malaysia and building sites in the Middle East. This study assessed the extent of workplace accidents among Nepalese migrant workers in Malaysia, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.Methododology: A questionnaire survey was conducted at Nepal’s main international airport with men who returned from working in Malaysia, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire was completed by 403 migrant workers from these three countries. Where possible the questionnaire was self-administered and interview-administered for those migrant workers with poor literacy skills. A logistic regression was conducted to identify factors associated with accidents at work and health risks perceived by migrant workers themselves.Results: One in six (17%) experienced accidents at work in their host country. This proportion is lower than that reported in previous studies of Nepali migrant workers. Age, country of work, doctor registration and perceived standard of work environment and accommodation are significantly associated with accidents at work.Conclusion: To help improve Nepalese men’s health and well-being whilst working abroad, host countries and the Government of Nepal should ensure that migrants hold health insurance. Mandatory pre-departure and arrival health and safety training is also recommended as a way to reduce risks to the health of migrant workers.

Law No. 18 of 2017 on the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (PIMW Law) mandates the formulation of a number of implementing regulations within a period of 2 (two) years since the enactment of the Law. However, only 3 (three) implementing regulations were successfully promulgated within the scheduled time period. While the rest, some are behind schedule, and some have yet to be drafted. To overcome this, the government exercised discretion while still enforcing the former regulations. This paper discusses some impacts of failure to meet the deadline for the formulation of implementing regulations from the PIMW Law and identification of some efforts to overcome these impacts. The writing method used is juridical normative through library studies of secondary data for descriptive qualitative analysis. From the discussion, it is known that the cause of failure to meet the deadline for the formation of implementing regulations is the technical and material constraints of the regulations. The failure to meet the deadline lead to failure in implementing most of the provisions in the PIMW Law and affecting the process of protecting Indonesian migrant workers (IMW), not only before, but also during and after working abroad, such as the imposition of placement fees; existing shelter which is the source of the Covid-19 transmission; and the rampant practice of IMW seafarers’ slavery. Therefore, all implementing regulations of the PIMW Law need to be promulgated. The House, through its supervisory function, both in the Commission and the IMW Supervisory Team, needs to continue to urge the government to establish implementing regulations for the PIMW Law. AbstrakUU No. 18 Tahun 2017 tentang Pelindungan Pekerja Migran Indonesia (UU PPMI) mengamanatkan pembentukan sejumlah aturan pelaksana dalam jangka waktu dua tahun sejak UU tersebut diundangkan. Akan tetapi hanya tiga aturan pelaksana yang berhasil diundangkan dalam jangka waktu tersebut. Sedangkan sisanya, ada yang terlambat dan ada yang belum terbit. Untuk mengatasinya pemerintah melakukan diskresi dengan tetap memberlakukan aturan lama. Tulisan ini membahas mengenai dampak pelanggaran aturan batas waktu pembentukan peraturan pelaksana dari UU PPMI, sehingga dapat diketahui upaya mengatasi dampak tersebut. Metode penulisan yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif melalui studi perpustakaan untuk menemukan data sekunder yang dianalisis secara deskriptif kualitatif. Adapun dari pembahasan diketahui bahwa penyebab dilanggarnya batas waktu pembentukan aturan pelaksana adalah adanya kendala teknis dan materi peraturan. Pelanggaran tersebut berdampak tidak terlaksananya sebagian besar ketentuan dalam UU PPMI dan berpengaruh pada proses pelindungan pekerja migran Indonesia (PMI), baik sebelum, selama, maupun sesudah bekerja, seperti masih adanya pembebanan biaya penempatan; adanya penampungan PMI yang menjadi sumber penularan Covid-19; dan maraknya praktik perbudakan PMI pelaut. Oleh karena itu, semua peraturan pelaksana dari UU PPMI perlu segera diundangkan. DPR melalui fungsi pengawasan, baik di Komisi maupun Tim Pengawas PMI, perlu terus mendesak pemerintah membentuk aturan pelaksana dari UU PPMI.

The Impact

Violence in Nigeria has a tendency to shape-shift - from violent crimes, such as kidnapping and robbery, to various expressions of political violence, such as terrorism and insurgency, as well as police and military brutality.  Indeed, because of this, it’s difficult to talk about one type of violence without appreciating not only how it relates to specific contextual conditions but also to other forms of violence, which often overlap each other. Since Nigeria returned to civilian rule in 1999 the term ‘terrorism’ has increasingly been a part of the national discourse on security. On the one hand, the government refers to countering terrorism within the framework of its national security agenda while on the other hand, insurgent movements, namely those that have emerged in the southern Niger Delta region as well as the northeast, have increasingly used terrorism as one of many tactics within their violent campaigns. Though one can certainly make the argument that terrorism in Nigeria has been a growing concern, particularly in the last decade, analysis tends to look at the phenomenon in isolation rather than considering how it is connected to other forms of violence, and more importantly, how state responses to organized violence drive non-state groups to adopt new tactics and escalate conflict. To fill this gap this article will look at how terrorism is understood and experienced in Nigeria and how its conceptualization shapes the practice of counter-terrorism. Our analysis will capture both international and domestic factors - including the impact of 9/11 and subsequent EU and US efforts to counter terrorism in Nigeria - as well domestic realities, namely the societal impact of Nigeria's 1999 transformation from long military to democratic rule as well as the more recent insurgencies in the Niger Delta (2005-2009) and in the northeast (2009-present). Combined, analyzing the domestic and international considerations over a 15-year time period will allow us to trace how the conceptualization of terrorism and practice of counter-terrorism has changed over time.

Working the One health strategy in developing countries is a challenge, due to structural weaknesses or deprivation of financial, human, and material resources. Brazil has policies and programs that would allow continuous and systematic monitoring of human, animal, and environmental health, recommending strategies for control and prevention. For animals, there are components of the Epidemiological Surveillance of zoonosis and Animal Health Programs. To guarantee food safety, there are Health Surveillance services and support of the Agropecuary Defense in the inspection of these products, productive environments, and their inputs. Environmental Surveillance Services monitor water and air quality, which may influence health. For human health, these and other services related to Health Surveillance, such as Worker Health and Epidemiological Surveillance, which has a training program responsible for forming professionals groups to respond effectively to emergencies in public health are available. Therefore, Brazil has instruments that may allow integrated planning and intervention based on the One Health initiative. However, the consolidation of this faces several challenges, such as insufficient resources, professional alienation, and lack of the recognition of the importance of animal and environmental health for the maintenance of human and planetary well-being. This culminates in disarticulation, lack of communication, and integration between organizations. Thus, efforts to share attributions and responsibilities must be consolidated, overcoming the verticality of the actions, promoting efficiency and effectiveness. Finally, this perspective aims to describe the government instruments that constitute potential national efforts and the challenges for the consolidation of the One Health initiative in Brazil.

This article examines Canada’s response to the Chilean refugee crisis in 1973. It explores the conditions that made the resettlement of Chilean refugees possible, despite the reluctance of the Canadian government to provide protection for them. The article focuses on the relation between the Canadian overnment’s regulatory discourses and practices on the one hand, and the Canadian public’s contestation of, and challenges to, such discourses and practices on the other. The Chilean refugee crisis revealed that the Canadian refugee protection regime was subject to political ideology, with very little consideration given to the suffering of refugees constructed as a threat to Canadian social, political, and economic well-being. However, civil society played a pivotal role in compelling the government to take a stance toward the refugees, though the government was able to control refugee reception by being deliberately selective about which lives it would save. The visibility and the success of the Canadian public in advocating on behalf of the Chilean refugees demonstrated the potential of this emerging civil power to affect refugee policies and practices while also revealing its limitations.

Background: The hawking of wares by children has been a serious issue confronting the Nigerian society. Children hawk in some of the most horrible conditions conceivable, where they face a serious risk of injury, chronic illness, kidnapping, rape or death. Objective: The focus of this study was to assess the perceived effects of street hawking on the well-being of children in Anyigba, Dekina Local Government Area of Kogi State. Methods: The population of this study consists of parents of the street hawkers in Anyigba while cross-sectional survey design was used through the purposive sampling technique to choose the sample size of one hundred and sixty-two (162) respondents. The validated structured questionnaire and In-Depth Interviews (IDIs) served as the instruments for the data collection respectively. The hypotheses were tested using Chi-Square at a predetermined 0.05 level of significance. The quantitative data were analysed with the aid of the SPSS (version 20). Results: The results indicated among others that street hawking had significant social implications and physical consequences on children's moral behaviour as well as health status in the study area. Conclusion: The study, therefore, concluded that the government of Kogi State should carry out an enlightenment campaign through the media and religious institutions on the negative consequences of street hawking are recommended as panacea. Also, the child right act instrument and its implementation should be strengthened in order to curb street hawking in the study area.

Agriculture has one of the highest shares of foreign-born and unauthorized workers among US industries; over three-fourths of hired farm workers were born abroad, usually in Mexico, and over half of all farm workers are unauthorized. Farm employers are among the few to openly acknowledge their dependence on migrant and unauthorized workers, and they oppose efforts to reduce unauthorized migration unless the government legalizes currently illegal farm workers or provides easy access to legal guest workers. The effects of migrants on agricultural competitiveness are mixed. On the one hand, wages held down by migrants keep labour-intensive commodities competitive in the short run, but the fact that most labour-intensive commodities are shipped long distances means that long-run US competitiveness may be eroded as US farmers have fewer incentives to develop labour-saving and productivity-improving methods of farming and production in lower-wage countries expands.
