ployed mainly in the construction, services, and domestic 
services sector; 
Whereas Qatar has the highest ratio of migrant workers to 
the domestic population of any country in the world and 
at least 500,000 more migrant workers are expected in 
Qatar to accelerate the construction in preparation of the 
2022 football World Cup; 
Whereas the majority of migrant workers come from India 
and Nepal, but also from Bangladesh, Pakistan, the Phil-
ippines, and Sri Lanka; 
Whereas according to figures from the Embassies of India 
and Nepal in Qatar, an average of 200 workers from 
each of those 2 countries die each year; 
Whereas according to the coordinator of the Nepalese com-
munity in the Middle East, Narinra Bad, 70 Nepalese 
workers died at their workplace since 2012, while the 
Pravasi Nepali Coordination Committee (PNCC) has doc-
umented the deaths of at least 185 Nepalese workers in 
2013; 
Whereas the visa sponsorship rules known as the ‘‘kafala-sys-
tem’’ mean that workers cannot change jobs without 
their employer’s permission and cannot leave the country 
unless their employer signs an exit permit; 
Whereas the ‘‘kafala-system’’ is often exploited as employers 
withhold the workers’ passports and wages, as well as 
workers being charged fees as high as $3,500 to obtain 
a visa from the sponsor leaving the migrant workers with 
excessively high debts; 
Whereas hundreds of unlicensed labor agents are operating in 
Qatar;
