Detailed explanation-1: -Migrant workers said they had paid unaffordable recruitment fees by borrowing at high interest rates, selling assets, and depleting family savings. Many workers fell into debt bondage and were unable to leave their job, leaving them more vulnerable to abuse and subject to further penalties if they failed to work.
Detailed explanation-2: -Reforms recently increased Qatar’s minimum wage, but migrant laborer wages are still low. To build its seven new World Cup stadiums, Qatar relied heavily on the labor of migrant workers over the last decade.
Detailed explanation-3: -Meanwhile, Qatar enacted a new national minimum wage that applies to everyone in the country, including migrant workers. It came into force in March and has led 280, 000 workers-13% of the workforce-to see their wages increase, according to the U.N.’s International Labour Organization (ILO).
