Policy Brief – Relations between immigration and labour policies in Morocco. Employers’ legal responsibilities with irregular migrant workers.

The informal employment of migrant (and some native) workers in these sectors as day workers exposes them to precarious labour and welfare conditions, such as: lack of labour contracts and absence of social protection. Their precarity is exacerbated due to their legal insecurity, linked to the confluence of their irregular residence status, their informal labour status along with other socio-economic and identity factors that push them at first hand to tolerate low quality working conditions that does not guarantee their dignity. This Policy Brief focuses on employers’ legal responsibilities for hiring irregular migrant workers and some of the challenges that drive employers’ non-compliance with the labour regulations in this respect.
