Summary

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.
