wages.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\" start=\"3\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong> Poor Living Conditions and Housing Exclusion<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Migrant workers often reside in overcrowded spaces with inadequate access to basic amenities such as sanitation, water, and electricity due to limited affordable housing options in urban areas.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia,
