| Summary: | The objective of this book is to analyze
the economic and social impact of international migration on
labor sending and labor receiving countries in the East Asia
region. More specifically, the book seeks: (a) to examine
the impact of international migration on key development
indicators, including poverty, investment, labor force
participation, labor productivity and wages; (b) to evaluate
current government structures and institutions for managing
migration, with a view to identifying future policies for
maximizing the benefits of international labor migration.
The book includes new work on these key policy issues from
six East Asian countries: three labor sending countries
(Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam) and three labor
receiving countries (Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand). |
