ABSTRACT
Despite the exploitative migrant regime called the ‘kafala system’ in the Gulf region, large-scale migrant workers in South Asia continue to migrate to the Gulf countries. South Asian countries are very aware of the importance of large-scale remittances of their migrant workers from the Gulf region in alleviating economic crises such as poverty and high unemployment. In fact, India is a country that sends the most migrants to the Gulf region and has the largest number of remittances among South Asian countries. This study focuses on the interconnectedness of motives for migration, the transnational migration industry, and the vulnerability of migrants related to international labor migration to the Gulf region through the case of the southern state of Kerala, which has long been leading the migrant labor of Indians to the Gulf region including the United Arab Emirates (UAE) . The main purpose of this study is to explore the amplification of the socioeconomic vulnerability of South Asian migrants in the Gulf region through the case of Keralites in UAE, when the exploitative transnational migration industry involved in the migration processes of South Asians is combined with the ‘kafala system’ characterized by ‘temporariness’ and ‘precariousness’ of migrants in the Gulf region.
