Migrant Workers in Pacific Asia cover

The migration of workers to the high growth countries in Pacific Asia in the 1980s was a new phenomenon in these countries. As such the host governments did not have in place adequate housing, social security and legal protection, but the tight controls following the financial crisis have pushed these issues to the back burner.
This volume discusses the debates and controversies surrounding this issue in Malaysia, Taiwan, SIngapore, South Korea, Japan and China.

'This is a useful book for those wishing to familiarize themselves with some of the issues and recent trends in international migration in East Asia.' - Journal of Asian Business, Volume 21, Number 1 2005

'This volume is a handy addition to the literature on the subject.' - Chris Manning, Australian National University
