Overseas Migrant Workers (OMWs) from Sri Lanka represent approximately one-fourth of the country’s workforce, spanning a wide range of skill levels from highly skilled professionals like engineers and doctors to unskilled labourers such as domestic workers and factory employees. Women constitute nearly 50% of migrant workers, primarily occupying roles in unskilled categories. Historically, Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and Qatar were the primary destinations for Sri Lankan migrant workers, but recent trends show a shift towards new destinations like Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Italy. Remittances from these workers have become a crucial source of foreign exchange for Sri Lanka, surpassing traditional exports like tea and rubber. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacrted OMWs and their families, leading to loss of employment, reduced income, stigma, and discrimination both abroad and in Sri Lanka. This chapter explores these effects through a literature review, data analysis, and case studies, examining the exclusion from social protection programmes in host and home countries. It critically evaluates policy measures introduced by various stakeholders, including host countries, Sri Lanka, and international organizations like International Labour Organization (ILO) and International Organization for Migration (IOM), aiming to mitigate the pandemic’s adverse effects on OMWs, who are among the most vulnerable groups affected by globalization.
