Description: "This book analyzes the implications of migration for the levels of unemployment and distinguishes between unemployment which can be attributed to government policy and that which can be generated by a particular behavior of employers and workers. The discussion also includes the issue of foreign workers' effects on unemployment levels - a salient issue in today's climate."

"With clarity and a scholarly approach, Bharati Basu succeeds in explaining and analyzing an important yet complicated topic. This book will be of use to students, academics and professionals interested in labor economics, industrial studies and international economics."--Jacket.
