Numbering an estimated 164 million globally, migrant workers are an essential component of contemporary businesses. Despite their number and indispensability in the global economy, migrant workers frequently lack the legal protections enjoyed by other workers. In Patterns of Exploitation, Anna K. Boucher looks at workplace violations across four major immigration countries: the United States, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Incorporating interviews, the Migrant Worker Rights Database, and in-depth analysis of court cases, Boucher uses legal storytelling to document individual migrant experiences and assess the patterns of exploitation that emerge in case narratives. This unique mixed-methods approach provides a novel understanding of migrant workplace violations across a variety of immigration contexts.
Anna K. Boucher is Associate Professor in Comparative Politics and Public Policy at the University of Sydney. She is a global migration expert, with a focus on the ways migration intersects with public policy and comparative politics. Her research also covers gender diversity, inequality, and labor market and regulatory change. She has written three books on migration that cover skilled immigration, gender diversity, and workplace exploitation, as well as numerous articles and scholarly book chapters.
