Labour Migration in the Arab Gulf States
This paper presents an analysis of recent changes in the scale and characteristics of non-national migration to, and employment in, the 6 Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states. In 1985, the size of the workforce in the Gulf States was 7.1 million. Non-nationals comprised 68% (in Saudi Arabia) to almost 91% (in United Arab Emirates) of the workforce. 63% of the non-nationals were from Asia. Non-national Arab workers represented 30% of the t…

Migrant Workers in the Arab Gulf
This article explores the relationship between government expenditure and labor immigration in the Arab Gulf states. This relationship was close and positive during the rapid growth of the 1970s. Using Kuwait as a case study, trends in immigrant labor movements over the period 1981–85 are considered in detail. This analysis shows that the current economic downturn, reflecting the collapse of the world oil prices, has not resulted in the large sca…

Employment and Development in six Poor Arab States
The Arab region is generally thought of as wealthy, being the recipient of a large income from oil. In reality, oil wealth is confined to a small minority of states and peoples; most of the region's population are poor. This paper discusses the employment pattern and future problems of the six poorest countries of the Arab region: Syria, Jordan, Sudan, South Yemen (Peoples' Democratic Republic of Yemen), Egypt, and North Yemen (Yemen Arab Republi…

Arab Manpower
This study describes and evaluates economic development in the capital-rich and captial-poor states of the Arab world by focusing on the national labor markets. In the Arab world the labor market is a particularly useful means of approaching an analysis of economic development. Normally labor is one of several limiting parameters and constraints upon economic development but in the capital-rich states shortage of human capital is the major constr…

The International Migration Project
In 1977 the International Migration Project commissioned by the International Labour Office initiated an assessment of the current patterns and processes of migrant labor movement in Arab lands with special reference to the period from 1970 to 1978. A projection of future labor migration will be made toward the end of the Project. The approach employed examines individual countries on each of which a Country Case Study is written according to a c…
International labour migration in the Arab middle east
International migration in the Arab region since the Second World War has been essentially a product of economic forces though exceptions to this assertion are significant. For example the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca the Haj now involves an international movement of over a million people and forced migrations following the Middle Eastern wars have included some important international redistributions of people. Nevertheless migration for employmen…
Towards planned migration in the Middle East
This paper outlines briefly the background, aims and methodology of a research project on labour migration in the Middle East. The project, which has been commissioned by the Migration for Employment Project of the International Labour Office, is a direct consequence of that agency's concern over an obvious gap in knowledge of this important aspect of contemporary Middle Eastern economic development. A considerable amount of work has been carried…

The Mecca Pilgrimage By West African Pastoral Nomads
Each dry season many Um Borroro or nomadic Fulani set off eastwards to Mecca. They are some of the 5,000 or so West Africans who make the pilgrimage (the haj) each year by travelling along the savannas through Cameroun, Chad, and the Sudan.1 About four-fifths of them come from what is generally called Hausaland and Bornu in Nigeria and Niger, but some pilgrims from all the West African savanna countries travel overland.2 Although they comprise on…
