In the era of neoliberal globalization, it was deemed that free movement of international labour force would bring more employment opportunities, economic prosperity and wellbeing. Unfortunately, Bangladeshi migrant workers experience labour bondage, control, coercion, exploitation and abuse that limits migrant workers’ labour and human rights. This study examined how the neoliberal globalization affects Bangladeshi migrant workers towards Saudi Arabia. In this regard, qualitative research approach had been applied to examine the labour market operating structure, the causes of Bangladeshi migrant worker’s precarity and vulnerability and the challenges with regards to fair migration. This research incorporated three Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and seven KIIs (Key Informant Interviews) and thematic content analysis had illustrated the respondents’ perception and opinion. It appears that the existing labour migration mechanism contains ingrained contradiction that favours the merchant of labour and disregards the requirement and desires of the workforce. To ease the shortfall of neoliberal globalization it is vital to address the challenges of monitoring and regulation, inefficiencies of legal redress mechanism, bilateral issues and coordination. This research suggests that standard labour market operating structure, transparency and accountability in the labour migration process and protective policy measures are crucial to ensure human and labour rights requirements
