To the classical driving forces of migration such as poverty,
oppression and war, yet another is being added: globalization. With
the increasing economic interdependence between countries migration
has become one of the important links. Many less developed
countries (LDCs) accept migration of their workers to developed
countries (DCs) because it reduces the pressure on unemployment,
and remittances increase the capital inflow to the country. On the
other hand, some of the DCs see migration as a threat to their
employment and system of social security. Participants of the
Second Annual Workshop of the Network EU-LDC Trade and Capital
Relations gave a broad view of the problem which both DCs and LDCs
are facing in connection with the globalization of labour markets.
This volume consists of 10 chapters by scholars from the European
Union (EU) and LDCs. Each paper is discussed in terms of its policy
relevance by a policy maker as well as by an academic specializing
in the field. In the opening chapter we aim to do justice to the
discussion during the Workshop in Rotterdam in May 1995 at which
preliminary versions of all chapters were presented. Edited
versions of the interven tions by the policy makers and experts are
included as far as possible af ter the chapters. The opinions
expressed in this volume are those of the authors and not
necessarily those of their organizations."
