"This theoretical discussion of the migration transition in Asia develops a framework to understand the turning point from labor exporter to labor importer experienced by the Asian NIES [newly industrialized economies] (Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan). The author concludes that the NIEs' demand for labor curve shifted rapidly, primarily due to export-led growth of a labor-intensive character. Because these economies are well integrated, improvements in labor market conditions in individual sectors are transmitted to all workers, discouraging emigration."
本文对亚洲人口迁移转变进行了理论探讨,构建了一个框架,用以理解亚洲新兴工业化经济体(香港、韩国、新加坡和台湾)从劳动力输出地区转变为劳动力输入地区的转折点。作者得出结论,新兴工业化经济体的劳动力需求曲线迅速转变,主要原因是劳动密集型的出口导向型增长。由于这些经济体高度一体化,个别部门劳动力市场状况的改善会传导至所有工人,从而抑制了移民。
