Money or family life? Miseries of foreign workers!

in #life7 years ago

I consider myself lucky when feel that I am living with my family. I can take care of my parents, feel the heartbeat of my children while hugging, enjoy time passing with friends and so on.

Behind the scene, the source of all this happiness is money! And most importantly, I am earning this money living in my country. If I can’t earn money and meet the needs of my family members, all the happiness and romantic feelings will definitely fade away. Although the words sounds little bit bitter, this is the truth.

This is applicable for all, myself is an example only. Now, the point is- do all the people have the same opportunity like me to work in their motherland and earn money to meet the livelihood?

No, you will find thousands of people are living abroad to earn money leaving their family members at home. This is not at all a good feeling for both workers and their family members.

Every moment the victim feels for his family members and what he left behind. The vivid picture of his son, daughter, believed wife, old parents, loving sisters and brothers are visualized in front of two eyes. In absence of his mind when the tears run through the cheek, he doesn’t know even. This is the story of low and middle class workers.

To go to abroad either they sell their lands or owe money with high interest rates. First one year or more they work only to pay the loan.

So, why the miseries of this group of people?

The main reason is lack of education. They don’t find good jobs either in their own country or abroad due to lack of proper education. As they are not literate enough to find good jobs, there is no option rather doing low level of jobs which is mainly physical work.

Though this writing will not reach to the ultimate victims, it is one of our responsibilities to go one step ahead to give the message to the people who are deprived from the light of education.

Here I want to make it clear that, I am not against the abroad work. The globe is for all. Everyone has the right to work everywhere else and see new things. But not depriving himself and the family members. Do whatever you like but with the family(if you have!). This is only possible when one is well-educated.

Last but not the least, my respect to all workers who are living abroad and earning remittances for their families and countries passing through all the struggles.

Thanks for your patience to stay till the end.

I feel sorry and disturbed whenever i feel the pain of the migrated workers. Due to weak policy of BD they dont even get ILO protection . Only money is the root cause of such inhuman life. Dont have words for them . We need to educate the people of BD aggressively to provide a better living .

Agree. Thanks for value adding.

I saw the reality in my eyes at 2014 in Malaysia. I can't describe that bad scene. They work hard and risky unsafe job. So many problems have been faced only for money. An appreciation for your good post.

Thanks for your comments and appreciation.

Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs should give a deep look on this problem. My father is an Immigrants I know how much pain he has to face.

On this day of the people of the wages are deprived of all aspects. Everyone avoids responsibility. Really thoughtful article.Thanks for your sharing.

Thanks for your comments.

দৈনিক কাজ শেষে বাড়ি ফেরবার পথে টাকা নিয়ে বাসায় ফেরে এক মুঠো হাসি নিয়ে

Thanks for the comments.

Yeah that's true one of my cousin stay abroad. So measurable condition. Before 6 year he went in brazil. Not a single time he visited us.

Yes, this things happens for migrated workers.

They not only have to spoil their golden time(youth) but also future too in some cases. They earn money & spend almost all of them for leading day to day life. So, they can't save enough money. Whenever they come back home, they suffer from poverty again! So, they go abroad again through liquidating their assets. Its a vicious cycle. Really feel pity for them.
Good coverage, carry on.

নিজের জিবনের বিনিময়ে পরিবারের জন্য টাকার পিছনে ছুটছে যে মানুষগুলো তাদের জন্য দোয়া ও শুভকামনা ।

Our government shows very little respect for them... this should not be...

It is unfortunate but it is the sad reality, of people fleeing their native country to try their fortunate in others lands. I tell you from experience that is happening in our country Venezuela @dindar
