This comprehensive Handbook analyses key migration issues in Asia, examining the region’s landscape as a major origin, transit and destination of migrants while fostering deeper understandings of emerging migration trends.Adopting an interdisciplinary and inclusive approach, leading experts provide insights into domestic and international challenges faced by policymakers and governing entities amid rising migration. They argue that, in the light of issues such as anti-migrant sentiment and social integration challenges, migration in Asia is not only shaped by economic factors and intra-regional dynamics, but also by widespread social change and shifting global geopolitics. The Handbook covers critical topics such as regional migration, differential skills policies, incorporation, and displacement and irregular migration, highlighting gaps in governance structures at global, regional, national and sub-national levels.Timely and incisive, this Handbook is a crucial resource for scholars and students of migration, development studies, sociology and Asian politics. Policymakers and government officials will likewise benefit from its astute insights and practical recommendations.
