  • Title: The migration transition in Malaysia.
    Author: Lim LL.
    Journal: Asian Pac Migr J; 1996; 5(2-3):319-37. PubMed ID: 12320775.
    Abstract:
    "Exploring the unique experience of migration transition in Malaysia, this paper identifies the turning points in relation to the level and nature of economic and labor market developments in Malaysia. Examining the development dynamics that mark the passage from exporting labor to depending on foreign labor, the paper concludes that such dynamics are influenced not only by economic but also sociocultural, demographic and policy factors. Several lessons from the Malaysian experience are drawn at the end to be utilized by other countries that still have to reach the turning points of the migration transition."
