Expats and the Labor Force: The Story of the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries (Economics of the Middle East)
Автор:George Naufal, Ismail Genc Год: 2012 Издание: [не указанo] Страниц: 198 ISBN: 0230337325 Expats and the Labor Force examines the flows of people and money in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. This timely book outlines the reasons that made the Gulf region a destination for millions of migrants. Taking advantage of the discovery of large hydrocarbon reserves and relatively stable political environment, the GCC countries filled the large demand for labor with foreign workers. However the number, share, and source of expatriates have presented serious challenges for the region. Naufal and Genc discuss these consequences on the composition of the labor force and remittance outflows.
