Preface
Migration has opened up a new world of opportunity to many enterprising individuals in the global South. South–South migration can be broadly understood as large-scale movement between developing countries that has three broad attributes— it is regional in scope, temporary in duration, and single in migration category. Given the single and temporary nature of migration and its inherent links to the families and communities in the origin country, principal questions in the South–South migration literature concern why and how people migrate inter-regionally for work, and what impacts this single, temporary form of migration has for migrants and their families. These are the two broad questions that guide this book. This book approaches the field of international migration of labour in the context of South–South migration with a particular reference to Bangladeshi migration to Singapore. This research takes a process-oriented approach to migration by tracing the experiences of Bangladeshi migrants in Singapore
