Migrant Labour
People who move from place to place to work. Economic or political pressures often cause people to leave their homelands to earn wages in this way, but some families live this way for several generations. As economic development has taken place at different rates in different countries, the supplies of and need for labour have been uneven.
Migrations by migrant workers may be permanent, semi-permanent, short-term and seasonal, or daily.
The improvement in communication links between countries and the freedom of movement of citizens living within the European Union have seen an increase in the number of people moving in search of work.
