چکیده
Foreword This is a paper of the ILO=s International Migration Branch. The objectives of the Branch are to contribute to: (i) the formulation, application and evaluation of international migration policies suited to the economic and social aims of governments, employers= and workers= organizations; and (ii) the increase of equality of opportunity and treatment of migrants and the protection of their rights and dignity. Its means of action are research, technical advisory services and cooperation, meetings and work concerned with international labour standards. The ILO also collects, analyses and disseminates relevant information and acts as the information source for its constituents, ILO units and other interested parties. This annotated bibliography offers a handy reference to the growing body of literature on international labour migration. With a view to facilitating research, this annotated bibliography focuses on recent publications dealing with the relationship between migration and globalization, the growth of trade and investments, the impact of various instruments of migration policy, the processes of recruitment, impact on sending and receiving countries, and return migration. The publications should be of interest not only to researchers but also to officials concerned with the more practical aspects of policy design and administration.
