Globalisation and social transformation theorists have paid
significantly less attention to the movement of people than they
have to the movement of capital. This book redresses the balance
and provides timely insights into recent developments in return
skilled migration in four regions in the Asia Pacific - Bangladesh,
China, Taiwan and Vietnam. The authors believe that the movement of
skilled migrants, and the tacit knowledge they bring with them, is
a vital component in the process of globalisation. The authors
examine the patterns and processes of return migration and the
impacts it can have on migrants, their families and communities
(including gender relations), as well as the effects on both the
original source country and the host country. They highlight the
many considerations which can influence the decision to return
home, including social factors, career-related prospects, and the
economic and political environment. Government policies in
facilitating return migration through the promotion of
entrepreneurship, education and training can also play a crucial
role. In the long term, fears of a 'brain drain', under certain
circumstances, may be replaced by the prospect of a 'brain gain' or
'global brain circulation', where emigration and immigration (or
return migration) co-exist and are supplemented by short-term
circulatory movements as a country becomes more integrated into the
global economy. This is a pioneering comparative study of return
migration in the Asia Pacific based on original primary data.
Researchers, academics and students interested in migration,
globalisation, demography and social transformation will find this
a valuable and highly rewarding book.
