Women, migration and prostitution in Thailand
Article Abstract:
The increasing number of women prostitutes in Thailand, which ranged from 200,000 to 800,000 in 1992, has alarmed individuals and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) internationally. Economic, social, political and environmental difficulties are the factors which contribute to the migration of women from rural areas to become prostitutes in the cities. This situation, however, is not confined to Thailand alone. NGOs in Thailand, the Philippines, Japan and other Asian countries have already responded by providing development alternatives to women.

Return migration when savings differ
Article Abstract:
Perpetual immigration of low wage workers and inefficient staff from underdeveloped nations to the developed ones has become a common phenomenon. Some countries that become places of shelter for the immigrant labor are reluctant to allow them to settle with native inhabitants. Reports of migrants returning to Spain show where they settle and how they utilize their savings in their homeland.
