  • Title: Migration in the Middle East: old economics or new politics?
    Author: Choucri N.
    Journal: J Arab Aff; 1988; 7(1):1-18. PubMed ID: 12281521.
    Abstract:
    This article discusses the increasing mobility and internationalization of labor in the Middle East. Using examples from a number of countries, the author pays particular attention to the resultant political and economic complexities of governing such a fluid population. Consideration is given to remittances from employment abroad and how these funds support a significant transnational economy as well as promote inflation in the labor-exporting countries. The article also considers the impact of non-Arab labor migration, particularly the influx of Asian workers.
