Abstract

The authors examine the different processes and practices that mediate Bangladeshi men바카라 사이트™s migration experiences and outcomes in Singapore바카라 사이트™s construction industry. They also examine how they view and negotiate issues of debt and risk in their individual migration trajectories. They take into account pre-departure decision-making, conditions of training and recruitment, as well as workers바카라 사이트™ employment experiences at destination. These issues shed light on the specific conditions of precarity that underpin migration and construction work, whilst emphasising the men바카라 사이트™s livelihood strategies in negotiating pathways to upward mobility within this context.
