dc.description.abstractWork that is paid is fundamental in material well-being. However, being employed does not always guarantee a decent living. This study explored experiences of Ugandan youth migrant workers in the Middle East countries. I collected qualitative data using Key Informant interview (4 participants), Focus Group Discussion (3 FGD) and In-depth interview (12 participants). Data was analysed using thematic approach. Findings reveal push and pull factors for the Ugandan youth going for migrant work, through formal and informal recruitment processes. Work done by Ugandan youth migrant workers included waitressing, cleaner jobs, security guards and domestic work. Support systems are official and un-official. The study concludes that some Ugandan youth migrant workers choose informal over formal recruitment. The nature of work and work experiences depends on the recruitment process. Government does not provide support to youth migrant workers who have been recruited outside formal recruitment. Therefore, there is need for stakeholders’ involvement in promoting the positive image of migrant work, increased awareness and sensitization campaigns on recruitment of migrant workers and the ultimate need to address the push factors resulting to migrant work.en_US
