About the Book

During the Gulf crisis in the summer of 1990, the extent of the migrant worker phenomenon in the Middle East was highlighted by the plight of tens of thousands of refugees from Kuwait and Iraq - men, women and even children, mainly from North Africa and South and South-East Asia. The harrowing images and reports spreading across the world and the hastily constructed refugee camps demonstrated the vulnerability of the economic and social position of this floating labour force. This is a comprehensive study of the demographic, social and economic aspects of labour migration from Sri Lanka to the Middle East using both demographic and anthropological research methods. The authors have mainly based their work on labour migration from Sri Lanka as labour migration from that country shows a number of particularly interesting characteristics. The extent of Sri Lankan labour migration is much greater than that seen in other South and South-East Asian countries. l.3% of the Sri Lankan population work in the Middle East, of which 70% are women, working mainly in the domestic sector.

Table of Contents:
Survival migration - the Sri Lankan case; recruitment of labour migrants for the Middle East; labour migration and the policy of the Gulf states; socio-economic conditions of Sri Lankan migrant workers in the Gulf states; Middle East migration at micro-level - a village case study; migration to the Middle East, social stratification and social mobility - three case studies; labour migration, household structure and their impact on the well-being of children; early return of Sri Lankan migrants in the Middle East; the socio-economic position and religious status of Sri Lankan Muslim women migrating to the Gulf; Sri Lankan housemaids in the Middle East - an avenue for social and economic improvement?; conclusions.
