Abstract: Temporary labour migration is often touted as a triple-win: a win for destination countries that can support a level of economic activity that would be impossible without foreign labour; a win for countries of origin because it lowers unemployment and brings in remittances and skills; and a win for the migrants who can earn more income and escape poverty. However, governments have yet to develop a system that ensures that the triple-win delivers benefits equally and it is migrants who are being short-changed.
