Chapter 11 in The Economy of South Asia, 2017, pp 287-303 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract According to the United Nations data, sometime in the mid-1980s, the non-oil-exporting developing world began to experience a revolutionary change in their economic structure. From then on, the export of labour services and labour-intensive products created increasing capacity to import technology. South Asia forms an important, if not the central, part of this worldwide story. In this case, the story more or less began with emigration of millions of South Asians to the Persian Gulf. South Asians were no strangers to movements like these. Why do they move? With what effect? Why do destinations change? The chapter will explore these questions.
