- Summary:
-
"While it has been strongly believed that labor migration is closely associated with a rapid transformation of many industrialized nations of the globe, the phenomenon is now increasingly emerging in other parts of the world, notably in newly industrialized countries. Prior to the 1950s, foreign laborers were found to be concentrated mostly in Western Europe and the United States. However, after the 1950s and 1960s, the transmigration of laborers started occurring in the Asia (notably Middle East) and after 1970s and 1980s in the Asia Pacific."--BOOK JACKET. "This book presents a study of foreign labor policy of the four selected Asian territories: Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore."--BOOK JACKET.
