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.
In an edited collection of writings the contributors to this volume consider a range of employment issues that affect migrant workers operating in Japan, China, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea and Malaysia.
