This comparative analysis of growth, structural change and labour market dynamics in the Greater Mekong countries (Yunnan Province in China, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Lao PDR and Myanmar) of Southeast Asia is the first of its kind. It explores economic integration and cooperation, the possibilities for improving the functioning of labour markets and facilitating mutually beneficial labour flows in the region. The book begins with a comparative overview of policy reforms, economic performance and structural changes, focusing on economic relations in the Greater Mekong countries. It then examines the salient features of labour market structures and policies, patterns of cross-border migration, and information systems, paying attention to the similarities and differences between countries. It is especially timely in the context of economic transition from socialist systems in the three Indochina countries, the ongoing policy reforms in Yunnan Province and Myanmar, and in light of the Asian financial crisis in shaping growth trends. The analysis yields policy recommendations for improvement in labour market performance. The book will be of great interest to development and labour economists and those working in the field of Asian studies, as well as to policymakers.

This research was carried out as activities of a project on in-depth analysis of internal migration data for selected Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) countries, implemented by the ESCAP Population Division and the UN Population Fund. The research reported in this volume was conducted for the Republic of Korea and Thailand because both countries have published a special volume of migration tables based on their 1980 population and housing censuses. In addition, survey data on labor force status and occupation prior to and after migration to urban or rural areas were available for both countries. For at least the last 2 decades the population of the Republic of Korea has been exceptionally mobile, both in terms of residence and employment. During that time the structure of the economy has changed greatly, and internal migration has contributed disproportionately to that change. 62% of the increase in employed persons in urban areas between 1975 and 1980 was attributable to net in-migration. It may be fair to conclude that internal migration has permitted the rapid growth and restructuring of Korea's economy and that measures to slow it would probably be expensive and counter-productive. The growth of the urban labor force is primarily attributable to in-migration while decline in the rural labor force is not primarily due to out-migration as most migrants to urban areas are not in the labor force before migrating. Females typically experience greater labor force mobility than males, although at lower levels. 91% of the increase in female urban employment between 1975 and 1980 was attributable to net rural-urban migration. The Labour Force Surveys in Thailand reported that the urban labor force increased by 1.1 million persons between 1975 and 1980. Net migration accounted for 13% of this increase or 142,000 persons. The impact of migration on growth of the labor force varies greatly by occupation. About 44% of the growth in the number of service workers in urban areas was due to net migration. Females in Thailand have particularly high labor force participation and migration rates relative to males. A major policy recommendation resulting from this study is that employment opportunities be dispersed from Bangkok Metropolis to other municipal and non-municipal areas.

Increased international labour migration was one important dimension of structural change and globalisation in East Asia from the mid 1980s. Large international movements of mainly unskilled contract labour occurred in response to widening wage gaps between more and less developed countries in the region as the former experienced rapid structural change. Labour importing countries increasingly relied on unskilled migrant workers in less preferred jobs, in both export-oriented and non-tradable goods industries. The Asian economic crisis dramatically influenced the context in which international labour mobility had occurred in the pre-crisis period. Important issues included a possible reversal in role of international migration in structural change, both among unskilled contract workers and more skilled migrants, and replacement of migrants by unemployed local workers. The paper argues that the Asian economic crisis did not reverse the fundamental trend toward greater reliance on unskilled migrant workers in agriculture, manufacturing and service industries. Business and professional migration remained significant and even rose in some countries during the crisis. However, several countries were forced to develop a more coherent policy towards migrant workers, in light of the social impact of the crisis.

Between 2000 and 2015, China's aggregate income quadrupled, its provincial income inequality fell by a third, and its share of employment in agriculture fell by half. Worker migration is central to this transformation, with almost 300 million workers living and working outside their area or sector of (hukou) registration by 2015. Combining rich individual-level data on worker migration with a spatial general equilibrium model of China's economy, we estimate the reductions in internal migration costs between 2000 and 2015, and quantify the contributions of these cost reductions to economic growth, structural change, and regional income convergence. We find that over the fifteen-year period China's internal migration costs fell by forty-five percent, with the cost of moving from agricultural rural areas to non-agricultural urban ones falling even more. In addition to contributing substantially to growth, these migration cost changes account for the majority of the reallocation of workers out of agriculture and the drop in regional inequality. We compare the effect of migration policy changes with other important economic factors, including changes in trade costs, capital market distortions, average cost of capital, and productivity. While each contributes meaningfully to growth, migration policy is central to China's structural change and regional income convergence. We also find the recent slow-down in aggregate economic growth between 2010 and 2015 is associated with smaller reduction in inter-provincial migration costs and a larger role of capital accumulation.
