Upskilling Migrant Workers in Construction and Placing Them in Jobs with Fair Pay Structures Will Boost Output and Performance

Abstract

This paper explores how upskilling migrant workers in construction and placing them in jobs with fair pay structures can improve productivity and performance. It examines the current state of the construction industry, which is heavily reliant on foreign-born workers, and the challenges faced by these workers. It then looks at the potential benefits of upskilling migrant workers, such as improved job security, better wages, and improved working conditions. It also considers the potential effects of upskilling on the construction industry, including increased productivity and improved safety. Finally, it suggests potential strategies that could be adopted by governments, employers, and other stakeholders to ensure migrant workers are provided with adequate training and fair pay structures.
