Abstract
"A recent conference sponsored by the United Nations Center for Regional Development (UNCRD) in Nagoya, Japan examined the growing importance of labor migration for four major Asian labor importers (Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore) and five major labor exporters (Bangladesh, Korea, Pakistan, Philippines, and Thailand).... The conference concluded that international labor migration would increase within Asia because the tight labor markets and rising wages which have stimulated Japanese investment in other Asian nations, for example, have not been sufficient to eliminate migration push and pull forces...." excerptKeywords: Asia; Bangladesh; Conferences And Congresses; Demographic Factors; Developed Countries; Developing Countries; Eastern Asia; Economic Conditions; Economic Factors; Financial Activities; Hong Kong; Investments; Japan; Korea; Korea, Republic Of; Labor Migration; Macroeconomic Factors; Malaysia; Migration; Pakistan; Philippines; Population; Population Dynamics; Singapore; Southeastern Asia; Southern Asia; Thailand; Wages
