This study assesses the economic well-being of 220 Bangladeshi migrant workers in Malaysia, utilizing a quantitative approach and an economic well-being index. Findings reveal insights into their monthly earnings, savings, remittances, and levels of satisfaction with various aspects, including consumption, expenditures, and leisure time. While there’s contentment with compatible salaries based on skills, concerns exist regarding job security, financial support during illness, and the risk of post-return poverty. These findings offer crucial insights for policymakers, migration activists, and practitioners, guiding future decisions and support measures for migrant workers.
