Estimates of Bangladeshi migrant workers living in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries were obtained from migrant related reputed organization, GLMM (Gulf Labour Markets and Migration), while mortality data was extracted from Refugee and Migratory Movements Research Unit (RMMRU), a well-known Bangladesh based NGO.[11]
Summary
The Gulf States and Singapore provide an interesting grounds for comparison, because both have a large number of IMWs. The scarcity of data impedes the formulation of international policy responses to address the health needs of IMWs.[4] A few studies in the USA and UK have highlighted the disproportionate number of COVID-19 deaths among migrant populations and ethnicities.[5]
