Nearly a third of migrant workers employed in domestic households in Malaysia are working under forced labour conditions, according to a survey released by the United Nations' labour agency on Thursday.
The UN organisation ILO said excessive working hours, unpaid overtime, low wages, restricted movement, and being unable to quit are indicators of forced labour conditions.
Exploitation of migrant domestic helpers continues. Under forced labor conditions, the majority of them are Indonesian migrant workers who work for excessive hours and low wages.
