Migrant Workers-Sr.2-May 20

Coronavirus leaves the Gulf's migrant workers in limbo
limbo an uncertain situation that you cannot control and in which there is no progress or 
improvement; I’m in limbo

Oil-rich Gulf nations, such as the United Arab Emirates, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia have been relying heavily on millions of migrant workers to develop and sustain their economies. There are as many as 20 million migrant workers administered in the region. In fact, foreigners outnumber national citizens by a large degree in these countries. Those workers came from South Asian countries like India, Pakistan, Indonesia, and the Philippines where well-paid job opportunities are limited for uneducated or unskilled workers.
Now, because of the Covid-19 pandemic, most of these migrant workers are stranded and quarantined in labor camps unemployed and unpaid. These overcrowded compounds are thought to be hotbeds of the pandemic as many workers share small rooms, toilets, showers, and kitchens. They are now hoping to be repatriated to their homes, but chances are slim as very few commercial flights are flying in the region. They have no choice but to sit and wait to be sent home or employed again with little to eat.
They repatriated money to their homes but now they are waiting to be repatriated.

Question Do you those migrant workers should be treated in the same way as the citizens in payment, social welfare, job security, and social status? 
Write your answer in three sentences.


There are over 1.6 million foreign workers in Japan, a quarter of which are Chinese, and another quarter are Vietnamese respectively, and 180,000 are Filipinos. They work in manufacturing, retail stores, such as restaurants, supermarkets, and convenience stores, agriculture, and construction industries. They often live in apartments or shared houses with other foreign workers with the same origin. Those workers are essential to sustain Japan’s economy and services as the country is losing its population. However, when businesses slow down, they are the first to be laid off.

Try: deserve the right/pay/treatment, contribute to the economy,

deserve to have earned or to be given sth for the way you’ve behaved, the qualities you have, your actions or qualities:
After the hard work, you ~ a holiday. 
He ~s our special thanks for all his efforts. 

People ~ to know what went wrong.

  1. I think they should.
    They works very hard for the citizens and it’s not good thing that people discriminate them.
    But I concerned that the number of them will increase rapidly if people pay them as much as the citizens.

    1. I think those migrant workers should be treated in the same ways as the citizens.
      The population of Japan is decreasing, so we need them to help us with the economy.
      They can get higher salary, we can develop the economy, so it’s good for both.

    Because they are working and living in the country and it means they are part of the country's economy.
    So, the migrants who work hard for the country guaranteed in payment, social welfare, job security.

  9. Yes, I think they should be treated as the citizens.
    This is because they will die if they lose a job and can’t get enough money to live.
    I think they can do the jobs which don’t have to contact with people.
