It is observed that due to the challenges with agriculture, many informal workers migrate to urban areas, possibly taking up carer jobs due to their high demand and comfortable pay. It has also been remarked that with increasing migration of working-age children, the availability of informal carers for older persons has decreased (Scheil-Adlung & Xenia, 2015). However, more information on the patterns relating to the migrant workforce in long-term care work is not available.
