Opis

While migration may offer economic benefits, migrant populations are vulnerable to various health problems. Until now there has been no single volume examination of the relationship between "migration" and "health" in an Asian context. This book fills that gap.
The book will interest advanced undergraduate students, graduates, academics and professionals in the areas of public health, sociology, geography, anthropology and migration studies.

Recenzje

'Migration and Health in Asia, is a welcomed addition to the literature, not only from the standpoint of those with a specifically "Asian" focus, but for any scholar who seeks to conceptualize more substantially the important linkage between the changes in the size, location and density of human populations and the diseases they experience' - Rachel M. Safman, National University of Singapore, Asian Journal of Social Science
