Question 7 • W Geography_B_IC

Which of the following statements about female illegal migrant workers is false?

Answer
A
Their work is unregulated by the government.
B
They lack access to legal protections.
C
Their wages usually are higher than similar formal sector jobs in the same economy.
D
Many workers are forced into harsh working conditions, abusive situations, or slavery.

Explanation

The false statement is that their wages are usually higher than wages in similar formal-sector jobs. Because their work is often unregulated and they lack legal protections, female undocumented migrant workers are especially vulnerable to low pay and exploitation, not typically higher wages. The other statements describe risks these workers may face, including harsh or abusive conditions.
