Asian Migrant Centre Ltd. & Migrant Forum in Asia, 1999
Asian Migrant Yearbook 1999 is the second year book Asian Migrant Centre has produced focusing on the issue of migration in Asian countries. Packed with colorful photos, tables and statistics, this book is a wonderful source of information. Especially noteworthy is the twenty country reports which span from Arabian Gulf to Japan to Sri Lanka; and this year's edition has a new section on Indochina - Burma, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. Included are some interesting statistics such as number of undocumented migrants and number of female migrant workers as percentages. Amongst other things, each country report includes the overview of the situation of migrant workers in that country, NGO initiatives, government responses to the current situation, and issues related to migration such as trafficking.
