“…A fuller discussion of the growth of the migrant population from Asia can be found elsewhere (Bhatti 1980;Basavarajappa and Verma 1985;Kubat 1986;Hawkins 1987). One indicator is perhaps sufficient here to illustrate this striking change ( Fig.…”

“…Therefore while aggregate studies mostly conducted at the level of the nation-state are welcome and necessary (see Kubat 1986), attention also needs to be directed to the regional and local contexts wherein migrants settle. It is in these contexts that critical processes such as discrimination, institutional racism and residential or occupational segregation are both experienced and challenged.…”

As in other 'advanced' market societies, Canadian communities manifest an important social change. Relatively small but rapidly increasing groups, perceived and labelled as racial minorities, constitute an important part of a new social and geographical reality. This paper describes the urban and regional contexts in Canada for the settlement of Asian migrants who now dominate numerically amongst all migrants. They are chiefly concentrated in seven metropolitan centres. The residential location of Asian born peoples in Vancouver and Toronto, the principal centres, is quite different but shows evidence of relative concentration; locally, however, large migrant majorities are rare.

"This paper reviews the literature on international labour migration from and within the Asian-Pacific region. It deals with patterns and characteristics of migration flows, government policies towards labour migration, and economic implications of labour migration for both labour-exporting and importing countries in the region. The indications are that, despite gradual slowing down of labour flows to the western industrial countries and the Middle East, labour migration will continue to be a major economic influence on surplus-labour countries in the region. As an integral part of the growth dynamism in the region, labour migration has now begun to take on a regional dimension, with immense implications for the process of industrial restructuring in high growth economies and the changing pattern of economic interdependence among countries."

"This article examines the processes involved in the acquisition and transfer of human capital by Filipino overseas workers.... In the four major occupational groupings (seamen, production/construction workers, domestic helpers and entertainers), little homeward transmission of human capital has been identified.... Because of the high rate of unemployment in the economy, the outflow of workers has had no observable impact on domestic wage rates."
