Description for International Labour Migration
Paperback. Num Pages: 199 pages, biography. BIC Classification: JFFN; JHB; JHBL; JPS; KCP. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 140. .
Studies of international labour migration typically assume that foreign labour is a universal feature of wealthy economies. Exploitation of foreign workers can contribute significantly to employers' profits. However, some wealthy societies do not import workers on a large scale, despite employers' pressures. Using Israel and Japan as empirical cases, this comparative-historical work investigates why some governments allow employers relatively free access to foreign labour, while others require alternative responses to labour shortages. A focus on variation leads to an innovative and insightful argument to explain international labour migration.
