NTS Insight (Jun 2009 – Issue 1) | The Economic Crisis and Labour Migrants: A Test for Human Security?
Abstract
As the current global economic crisis deepens, labour migrants have begun to experience the consequences of both political and economic insecurity. How effective are legal frameworks in protecting the economic well-being of migrants in the Asia-Pacific? Can the adoption of a human security approach guarantee migrant welfare? This issue attempts to answer these questions, and to determine if more can be done.
