Migration In East And Southeast Asia

There has been an undisputed increase in the importance of migration over the past decades.

It is one of the effects of an increasingly globalized world, where capitalism and free trade are gaining prominence.

Migration in East and Southeast Asia aims to bring migration-related problems in Asia to the forefront.

The first part of the book deals with migration in Greater China, a region influenced by Confucianism.

The 'three Chinas' used to have a close connection in the past, and presently share much similarity.

The Hong Kongese and Taiwanese societies are based on migration from Mainland China.

However, each society has endured significant social, economic, and political changes.

The second part of the book offers a closer look at migration flows in Southeast Asia.

Most of the intra-ASEAN migration involves low-skilled labor for construction, agriculture, and domestic work.

This book hopes to offer valuable insights into various topics related to migration in the region.
