International Labor Migration in South Asia: Current Situation and the Problems of Efficient National Regulation

Abstract

The key specific features of South Asian economies include their highly dynamic nature, traditionally weak legal support, strong regulatory competences of the state at the same time, significant intraregional differentiation as well as cultural uniqueness of this macroregion. These features to a large extent predetermine the flow of labor migration in the region which is actively growing with every new year. Since Asia today is actively supplying labor resources to numerous other countries, regional specificity of labor migration in Asia, its key trends and the related governmental measures require additional and more detailed research.
