Humanitarian Organization for Migration Economics (HOME), “Coming Clean: A Study on the Well-being of Bangladeshi Conservancy Workers in Singapore”, 31 August, 2020.

“Coming Clean is a report by HOME that details the findings of the research and HOME’s recommendations as regards the working lives of Bangladeshi conservancy workers (BCWs). The key problems and struggles faced by BCWs include excessive debt burdens, depressed wages, long working hours, heavy workloads, a lack of rest day, and restricted access to medical care. 

This report started as an outreach effort in 2013 to get to know BCWs better. HOME realised that the working conditions faced by Bangladeshi Conservancy Workers need to be looked into. HOME spoke to over 30 BCWs, including semi-structured interviews and informal conversations between 2014 – 2020. “
