Amarjit Kaur examines wage labour's role in economic growth and change in Southeast Asia since 1840. Her study focuses on globalization, the international division of labour and how transnational economic processes shaped and continue to shape labour systems. There are five main themes: labour processes, migration and labour systems; labour circulation or mobility; the gendered nature of labour relations; and class consciousness, worker organization and labour standards. This is a wide-ranging study which should be of interest to historians, economists and Asia specialists.

This collection contributes to theoretical debates about women workers in Asia. It focusses on issues that have been little documented in other studies in the area and provides information and insight into labour systems associated with labour intensive export manufactures and state labour relations in a comparative context. The contributors present a range of unique and varied perspectives from which they consider aspects of the increasing integration of Asian economies, exploring implications for their labour markets.
