Predicaments and Countermeasures of the Protection of Migrant Workers' Human Rights——From the Perspective of the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families

International migration mainly happens between the North and the South Mig rant workers have made important contributions to the inclusive growth and sustainable development of world economy, but their human rights are often violated In recent years, frequent extreme terrorists attacks and large-scale refugee influxes have triggered anti-for eign sentiment and policies in developed countries, which expose migrant workers to an unprecedented human rights crisis The International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families is an important convention adopted by the United Nations that specially protects human rights of migrant workers However, as the convention has not been ratified by major developed countries where most migrant workers seek employment, the protection regime has an empty shell Developing countries where most migrant workers originate from should strengthen cooperation among themselves and urge developed countries to fulfill the duty of human rights protection by normalizing the status of migrant workers and that of members of their families in employment countries and ratifying the convention as soon as possible.

The Indonesian Women Migrant Workers: Redefinition and Termination of Sending Them Abroad

Indonesian diplomacy criticized as “to slow, too weak, and too late” to protect its migrant workers. Indonesian migrant workers that consist 80% of women, sent to fulfill the high demand for domestic workers and low level labor in Saudi Arabia and Malaysia. The qualification of workers that mostly uneducated and lack of job experience caused many social-economic issues in receiving countries. Moreover, lack of training led to problems related to violation of human and workers’ rights, even in many cases turned as the victim of human trafficking. The problems at domestic level are related to corrupt government officials, weak of bureaucracy, and lack of coordination amongst government’s institutions. In addition, the business interests of recruiting agents both at home and host countries added to complexity of issues. Problems during recruitment, preparation and sending process also caused legal, social and cultural problems that need diplomatic efforts both at bilateral and multilateral level. Due to diplomatic failure that undermined Indonesian reputation in receiving countries, in addition to unresolved domestic problems, this article proposes the Indonesian government to terminate the sending of domestic workers. Furthermore, the immigration policy needs to be reevaluates. In the future, the Indonesian government should only send legal, documented workers, with skilled or semi-skilled qualifications.

劳动关系微分化视角下网约工劳动权益的法律保障

在算法技术与平台经济相得益彰共同推进数字经济向纵深方向发展的过程中,劳动关系日益呈现出微分化的演化趋势,使得以网约工为代表的新业态从业人员陷入了“身份不明确”的主体性危机与“权益保障难”的双重困境,不仅对传统的劳动从属基础性理论提出了新的挑战,而且也日益凸显现行法律制度供给不足的现状。基于网约工群体经济从属性、人格从属性与组织从属性微分化趋势之系统理论分析,科学审视与证成微分化视阈下具有劳动从属性的网约工“第三类劳动者”之身份,并将“内在经济与人格从属程度的差距均以外在劳动量的差别为表现形式”这一从属性微分化之核心作为识别与判定标准,对具有不同强度从属性的“第三类劳动者”给予不同程度的劳动法倾斜保护,希冀能平衡平台经济有序发展与网约工劳动权益合法保障之间的关系,为健全和完善我国劳动法律制度体系提供符合数字经济内在运行规律的科学立法选择。

工程建设领域农民工工资支付保障的组态分析

工资权益保障直接关系到农民工的切身利益以及社会的公平与稳定,是政府与学界共同关注的焦点。本文搜集了我国31个省级地方政府在工程建设领域针对农民工工资的相关政策文本,基于组态视角,运用模糊集定性比较分析方法,探究了农民工工资支付的政策措施对地方政府提升农民工工资权益保障水平的联动效应。通过分析不同组态下的案例,得出了多种高权益保障水平和低权益保障水平的构型。结合我国中、东、西部地区的异质性分析,发现农民工工资保障水平的提升需要不同政策措施的有机组合,并且不同地区农民工工资保障水平的驱动路径存在显著差异。因此,政府需要结合自身实际情况,因地制宜地制定相关政策,以提升农民工的工资权益保障水平。

劳动权益保障、政府信任与高龄农民工的城市融合

基于调研数据,本文考察了劳动权益保障对高龄农民工城市融合的影响机制。实证结果显示,工资拖欠、工伤纠纷、劳动合同纠纷等劳动权益受损事件均会显著影响高龄农民工城市融合程度。对劳动权益纠纷解决过程的进一步考察发现:第一,劳动权益受损事件发生后,当高龄农民工对维权过程解决较为满意时,其城市融合程度显著高于没有发生过劳动权益纠纷者;第二,政府部门主导解决劳动权益纠纷对高龄农民工城市融合具有一定的“放大效应”。当高龄农民工对维权解决过程满意时,解决过程中的政府干预会显著提高其城市融合程度;当其对维权解决过程不满意时,解决过程中的政府干预反而使其城市融合程度下降的幅度更大。因此,本文认为应健全源头预防,杜绝劳动权益纠纷事件发生;建立农民工劳动权益保护协调机制;强化政府责任意识,属地监管、多部门协同,发挥政府在高龄农民工劳动权益保障工作中的积极作用。

第一代农民工养老保险权益损失及其补偿路径研究

第一代农民工为我国的社会主义现代化建设做出了巨大贡献,但其养老保险权益因种种原因遭受不同程度的损失,这些损失主要体现为参与损失、退出损失和转移损失三种典型样态,它们是政府部门、用人单位以及第一代农民工等主要责任主体共同作用的结果。因此,应当以中央政府推动与地方利益协调为总体思路,采取明确中央与地方政府在第一代农民工养老保险补偿中的责任内容、建立第一代农民工养老保险补偿基金、制定科学合理的补偿标准以及完善养老保险制度等一系列措施,以有效补偿第一代农民工的养老保险权益损失,促进社会公平与正义。

数字经济下新就业形态劳动者权益保障研究

新就业形态是指劳动者通过互联网平台获得就业机会,进行相关工作,换取相应报酬的一种就业形态,是数字经济深入发展的产物。现行法律法规在保障新就业形态劳动者权益方面存在诸多问题,主要表现为劳动用工关系难确定、劳动者法律地位不明确、权益保障内容不具体等现实性问题。为了更好地保护新业态劳动者的合法权益,一方面需要明晰其法律地位,厘清劳动关系;另一方面可尝试将其作为特殊群体给予特别保护,通过“概括+举例”的方式完善职业安全、休息休假、竞业限制方面的立法,以法促建,推进新就业形态的健康可持续发展。

超龄劳动者劳动权益保护法律适用研究

超龄劳动者劳动权益保护纠纷是劳动人事争议中的重要案件类型,妥善解决与否直接关系到积极应对人口老龄化国家战略的落实。审判实践中,存在超龄劳动者用工关系性质认定不一、工伤认定难、缴纳社会保险难等问题。面对实践中的疑难问题,超龄劳动者劳动权益保护纠纷裁判规则可作出如下调整:首先,此类劳动者在劳动报酬、工作时间、休息休假、劳动安全卫生、工伤保险待遇等方面适用劳动基准。其次,《劳动合同法》第44条规定的“开始依法享受基本养老保险待遇”仅指职工基本养老保险待遇。最后,用人单位在劳动者享受基本养老保险待遇、达到退休年龄的情况下终止劳动合同,不承担支付赔偿金的责任,应否支付经济补偿可视其是否存在《劳动合同法》第38条规定情形进行类型化的分析和裁量。
