  • Title: The immigration of Asian professionals to the United States: 1988-1990.
    Author: Kanjanapan W.
    Journal: Int Migr Rev; 1995; 29(1):7-32. PubMed ID: 12319615.
    Abstract:
    "This article examines recent flows of Asian professionals to the United States based on the Immigration and Naturalization Service data for the fiscal years 1988-1990. Three specific dimensions of the Asian migration stream were investigated, namely, size, composition and mode of entry. The results show that Asians emerge as a dominant group in the immigration of all professionals. An examination of mode of entry indicates an existing demand for foreign professionals of certain occupational backgrounds in the U.S. labor market.... The argument that the outflow of the highly trained Asians is simply a matter of migration and education is not fully supported by the data."
