C. "Their wages are usually higher than similar formal sector jobs in the same economy." Female illegal migrant workers often work in unregulated environments and therefore typically earn less than the minimum wage of the host country. They usually have little to no negotiating power over their wages and work conditions due to the informal and often illegal nature of their work. This puts them at a disadvantage compared to those employed within the formal sector, who are generally entitled to legal protections, regulated working conditions and at least the minimum wage.
