The political economy of international labour migration: a case study of Pakistani workers in Gulf states
- Date
1995
- Authors
Hassan Nawaz Gardezi
- Abstract
While former studies on labor migration have concentrated on its effect on GNP, foreign exchange earnings, and labour exporting countries' rates of investment, Gardezi's work refocuses attention on the migrant workers themselves, their hopes and aspirations, family and community life, and working conditions both at home and abroad.
Taking this wide-ranging view, he is able to enhance our understanding of the transfers of labour force.- Number of pages
