| description | Migration has been a topic discussed across international boundaries especially the mobility of international workers. The purpose of this research was to conduct a comparative analysis of foreign employment in enterprises and firms operating in UK, Poland and UAE. The study was driven by the increasing rate of migration whether to look for better employment and life opportunities or simply a change of scenery abroad. The analysis was conducted using primary data collected from managers of the companies operating in these countries.

The findings indicated that there was a significant relationship between the country in which the companies operated and the age of foreign employees, type of contract, a common type of jobs foreigners are employed, and the reason why the company decided to employ foreigners. The study concluded that there is a similar trend in the increase in the number of foreign employees working in the three countries – the UK, Poland and UAE. The largest age group of foreign employees was 25-35 years. The highest type of contract was fixedterm full-time employment consented by 165 companies.
