Abstract

The agreements and declarations that have been base set about migration are determined in some way for the variability of conditions that the immigrants live and make their Jobs in the destinations countries. The informality and precariousness are the most features of labor activities in Honduras are related to irregularities in the documentation, temporary jobs, lack of worker´s empowerment, low salaries and log hours at job. The violation of human and labor rights to immigrants makes clear the need to study the relationship of these situations. From the last two dissertations that make a conflict between speech and reality, there is a speech that proclaims the existence of agreements and commitments that force the compliance of labor rights and reality, on the other hand, showing the persistent violations of immigrant´s labor. It should be clear the migration is a phenomenon in human´s rights and close related to the new challenges of development in the region. In our globalized world, the merchandise form developed countries have no borders and have full mobility, while the persons in the poorest countries face more restrictions on exercising the right to emigrate. It is still impossible to imagine a world in which the people do not move across the borders. However, it is highly proven that migrants make a contribution to both countries the one from origins and the destination country.
