About

Description
Every year throughout Asia millions of men and women immigrate to find work needed to support their families. This migration process is fraught with challenges, many of which are initiated by unethical and often illegal agency practices. Employment agencies are often legally required for the migration process. But rather than representing the best interests of the migrant worker and the eventual employer, these agencies often manipulate the process for their own selfish interest. This can leave the workers in significant debt, can lead to exploitation, and often leaves the employer without a suitable employee match. Migrasia is a non-profit making online platform hoping to end unethical agency practices, and professionalize the migrant labor placement process. Our platform allows both workers and employers to rate and comment on their respective employment agencies. We hope to professionalise the migrant labour placement process by bringing transparency to agency practices, both good and bad. We are dedicated to promoting a fair recruitment process for migrant workers, and to ensuring employers find the right match for their families. Exploitation of domestic workers is a major social concern in Hong Kong and throughout Asia. These workers make up nearly 4% of HK's population, and nearly 10% of HK's working population, making them vital to the success of HK's economy. Because of HK's ageing population, more migrant laborers will be needed in the coming years. Migrasia will provide a transparent pathway for migration, both for employer and employee. Labour migration is going to continue to grow throughout Asia, making Migrasia essential. Migrasia: Rate, Review, Reform!
