Abstract

This study explores how the marginalized positionalities and rural social contexts of migrant workers from the agricultural sector impact the creation of their experienced vulnerabilities. The results of the study are as follows: first, the workers’ vulnerabilities depend on different intermediaries and their roles in the process of placement. Second, each experience varies in accordance with the legal status of employment and individuals’ competitiveness in the job market during the migration process. Third, the discrepancy between the institutional employment system and substantial agricultural practices brings about a nominal contract, increasing the vulnerability of migrant workers in their working and dwelling places. Lastly, the weak social relations of workers among and beyond themselves are caused by remote working and dwelling places distant from downtown and poor mobile infrastructures; this alienation results in migrant workers facing other vulnerabilities due to a lack of constant social support.
