Formulation and management of foreign employment policies in countries of destination

Foreign workers are employed in many countries at all skill levels, even though some of them may originally have arrived as students, tourists or family members (see Chapters 4, 5 and 6, respectively), and then remained in the country to work. There are significant numbers of foreign workers in the European Union (EU); established countries of immigration such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States; the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states; new immigration countries such as the Russian Federation; as well as a number of middleincome countries in the developing world, viz. Malaysia, South Africa and Thailand. As described earlier in Chapters 7 and 8, cross-border labour mobility between neighbouring developing countries is common, while considerable irregular labour migration also occurs not only from developing to developed industrialized countries, but also among developing countries themselves.
