Journeys of Hope: The Emotional Experiences of South Asian Migrant Workers in the UAE

In an era marked by increased migration and global interconnectedness, the experiences of blue-collar workers migrating from South Asia to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) reveal a multifaceted narrative filled with aspirations, challenges, and resilience. A forthcoming study titled “From South Asia to the United Arab Emirates with Hope: The Subjective Well-Being of Blue-Collar Migrant Workers Revisited,” authored by Yang and set for publication in 2025 in International Migration, explores the emotional complexities faced by these laborers as they strive for improved livelihoods abroad. Despite confronting significant obstacles such as unstable job conditions, cultural differences, and feelings of isolation, many maintain a steadfast sense of hope. This article examines Yang’s research findings on how subjective well-being significantly influences these migrants’ lives while providing insights into their dreams, hardships, and realities within one of the globe’s most vibrant economies. As the UAE remains a symbol of opportunity for many seeking better futures, this research emphasizes the importance of understanding the human experiences that accompany economic migration.

Understanding Emotional Challenges Faced by Migrant Workers in the UAE

The emotional landscape navigated by blue-collar migrant workers arriving in the UAE is intricate and often fraught with both hopefulness and deep-seated loneliness. Many leave their homes in South Asia driven by dreams for financial security, educational opportunities for their children, and an overall enhanced quality of life. However, upon reaching their destination, they frequently encounter stark realities that can undermine these ambitions. Factors such as extended working hours, limited social connections, and cultural dislocation contribute to a challenging emotional environment where feelings like anxiety and depression are common among workers trying to adapt to an unfamiliar yet prosperous setting.

The role played by community support is vital in shaping these migrant workers’ subjective well-being. Social interactions through gatherings or religious observances provide essential outlets for emotional expression while fostering relationships that help alleviate isolation. Furthermore, many laborers engage informally within networks advocating for their rights—this sense of empowerment becomes crucial amid adversity. To illustrate key factors influencing worker emotions further,the following table summarizes important elements affecting their mental health:

Mental Health Factors Affect on Well-Being
Lack of Social Interaction A rise in feelings associated with loneliness or depression.
Economic Pressures An increase in anxiety due to remittance obligations.
Civic Engagements
