本文探讨了通过强或弱关系迁移如何导致埃塞俄比亚家庭工人迁移到中东的不同结果。很少有研究调查过这个问题。埃塞俄比亚家庭佣工是这一分析的一个很好的例子，因为网络对于为中东的住家佣工提供信息和支持至关重要。通过牢固的联系进行迁移预计会产生更好的迁移结果。然而，研究结果表明，在某些情况下，通过牢固的联系进行移民可以提供支持，但不足以保证为中东的埃塞俄比亚移民工人提供保护。
This article explores how migrating via a strong or weak tie results in different outcomes for Ethiopian domestic workers in their migration to the Middle East. Few studies have examined this question. Ethiopian domestic workers are a good case for this analysis as networks are critical for providing information and support for live-in domestic workers in the Middle East. Migrating via a strong tie was expected to result in better migration outcomes. The results, however, suggested that migrating via a strong tie can provide support in some cases, but is not enough to guarantee protection to Ethiopian migrant workers in the Middle East.
