“…Regarding self-initiated expatriation , the decision to move internationally is solely made by the individual who initiates the expatriation. However, assigned expatriation denotes an employee who is sent abroad by his/her company, usually receiving an expatriate contract [ 6 ]. Notably, 63% expatriates are individual workers, 14% are students, 8% are retired expatriates, and 3% are corporate transferees [ 2 ], suggesting that self-initiated expatriates are the majority, and this proportion is expected to grow in the future.…”

BackgroundWith the significant growth of migration and expatriation, facilitated by increased global mobility, the number of Koreans living abroad as of 2016 is approximately 7.4 million (15% of the Korean population). Healthcare utilization or health problems, especially among expatriates in developing countries, have not been well researched despite the various health risks these individuals are exposed to. Consequently, we identified the health utilization patterns and healthcare needs among Korean expatriates in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Uzbekistan.MethodsThis cross-sectional survey examined 429 Korean expatriates living in Vietnam (n = 208), Cambodia (n = 60), and Uzbekistan (n = 161) who had access to the Internet and were living abroad for at least 6 months. A 67-item questionnaire was used, and feedback was received via an online survey program. Stepwise logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate factors associated with unmet healthcare needs and preferences of certain type of telemedicine.ResultsWe found that 45.5% (195/429) of respondents had used medical services in their country of stay. Among those who visited health institutions > 3 times, the most popular choice was general hospitals (39.4%, 15/38); however, they initially visited Korean doctors’ or local doctors’ offices. The most essential criteria for healthcare service facilities was a “skilled professional” (39.3%, 169/429), 42% wanted a health program for chronic disease management, and 30% wanted specialized internal medicine. A substantial number wanted to access telemedicine services and were willing to pay for this service. They were particularly interested in experts’ second opinion (61.5%, 264/429) and quick, 24-h medical consultations (60.8%, 261/429). Having unmet healthcare needs and being younger was strongly associated with all types of telemedicine networks.ConclusionsNearly half of the expatriates in developing countries had unmet healthcare needs. Telemedicine is one potential solution to meet these needs, especially in developing countries.

“…Expatriates have long been portrayed in the wider literature as privileged mobile elites, as opposed to migrants who lack desirable and transferable capital and easy political–legal access to border‐crossing and the host labour market (Al Ariss, ; Przytuła, ; Yeung, ). While migration is perceived to be primarily motivated by economic necessity and dire socio‐political circumstances in the home country, expatriation is perceived to be primarily motivated by desire and aspirations.…”

Foreign academics and international school teachers have received little attention in migration studies and human geography despite their rapidly growing numbers and diversity in the global education landscape. This paper explores the inconsistent terms and categorical definitions attached to them and puts forth the value of approaching them as migrants under the term "expatriate." It critically reviews an emerging body of work, led by human resource management and education literature, which uncovers the complexities and unique specificities of their mobilities. Our review reveals the diverse and uneven mobility structures, practices, and outcomes of academic and teacher expatriation that are stratified by gender, age, class, race, ethnicity, and nationality.Using the concept of translocational positionality, we argue that these intersectional positions must be situated within geographical contexts of power and differentiation to make visible the multiple, contingent, and contradictory realities of such expatriation. Doing so opens avenues for more nuanced and balanced insights into the privileges and vulnerabilities that confront these expatriates and which make them distinct and worthy of study.

“…According to Przytuła (2015), assigned expatriates are persons who work in other countries because they have been sponsored and assigned by their parent organizations to the foreign location (p. 94). In other words, the decision of their leaving is not in their hands, the company or organization is the one who decide it.…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate various aspects of culture shock experienced by foreign workers and how they deal with culture shock. The study further documented various aspects of culture shock such as language, environment, friends at work, food, dress etc., and also how to deal with it. The data were collected from 4 subjects through a semi-structured interviews via WhatsApp with Indonesian who worked in various countries (Lebanon, Australia, Malaysia, and Japan). One of the major findings of this study is that Indonesian foreign workers who worked overseas experienced cultural shock both in similar and different aspects of culture shock. Six aspects among the ten were experienced by all of the four subjects. Meanwhile, the rest four aspects were only experienced by some of them. This study documented ten different categories of culture shock aspects that can be experienced by people while they are working in foreign countries.
