https://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/ ... ose-incomeThe International Organisation for Migration (IOM) Cambodia and UN Population Fund (UNFPA) Cambodia released a survey report describing the hardships and vulnerabilities faced by migrant workers who returned to Cambodia from abroad following the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.
It found that nearly 30 per cent of migrant households have no income at all and nearly 60 per cent of them have no source of earnings in Cambodia.
It found that since Thailand began its measures to curb Covid-19 by reducing economic activities and closing its borders in March, more than 120,000 Cambodian migrant workers returned to Cambodia. The situation has created a humanitarian emergency, posing serious concerns of socio-economic vulnerability for them and their families.
The survey was conducted via telephone interviews of 1,108 returning migrant workers in the four provinces of Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Prey Veng and Siem Reap. The report cited 56 participants as key informants.
The data indicate that more than half of migrant workers have debts while only 25 per cent of them have and ID Poor Card for social assistance. Over 50 per cent of them have problems accessing health care due to a lack of money or distance to health care providers, the report said.
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
