On the Regional Rootedness of Population Mobility and Environmental Change
This article argues that the interplay of changing environmental conditions in the wake of climate change and dynamic migration systems will lead to even more clearly articulated new regional formations. The way regions perceive the risks of climate change, how they cope with and adapt to these risks and their constitution as resilient entities determines the way migration and mobility take place. We focus on the regional dimensions of climate ch…
Can health insurance protect against out-of-pocket and catastrophic expenditures and also support poverty reduction? Evidence from Ghana’s National Health Insurance Scheme
This study provides evidence that high OOPE leads to CE and poverty in Ghana but enrolment into the NHIS reduces OOPE, provides financial protection against CE and reduces poverty. These findings support the pro-poor policy objective of Ghana's National Health Insurance Scheme and holds relevance to other low and middle income countries implementing or aiming to implement insurance schemes
Community concepts of poverty: An application to premium exemptions in Ghana’s National Health Insurance Scheme
BACKGROUND: Poverty is multi dimensional. Beyond the quantitative and tangible issues related to inadequate income it also has equally important social, more intangible and difficult if not impossible to quantify dimensions. In 2009, we explored these social and relativist dimension of poverty in five communities in the South of Ghana with differing socio economic characteristics to inform the development and implementation of policies and progra…
The impact of health insurance in Africa and Asia: A systematic review
Household perceptions and their implications for enrolment in the National Health Insurance Scheme in Ghana
OBJECTIVE: This paper identifies, ranks and compares perceptions of insured and uninsured households in Ghana on health care providers (quality of care, service delivery adequacy, staff attitudes), health insurance schemes (price, benefits and convenience) and community attributes (health 'beliefs and attitudes' and peer pressure). In addition, it explores the association of these perceptions with household decisions to voluntarily enroll and rem…
Equity aspects of the National Health Insurance Scheme in Ghana: Who is enrolling, who is not and why
Global Migration and Development
Today, the development of many rural communities in the Ashanti Region of Ghana is to a considerable extent being supported by migrants. Community development is defi ned here as the activities to arrive at an increased presence of, or improved access to, public (not commercially exploited) facilities at the village level. These include facilities that are fi nanced with both public funds and private funds, both locally and from migrants. In spit…
Asian Migrants and European Labour Markets: Patterns and Processes of Immigrant Labour Market Insertion in Europe
Our paper focuses on the socio-economic and the legal/institutional characteristics of international migrants’ incorporation into the Italian labour market. Our interpretation of the statistical evidence available with respect to immigrant’s labour insertion combines the role played by the local characteristics of labour force demand, the normative constraints generated by immigration policies —and more broadly by the institutional framework whic…
Shifts in the European Discourses on Migration and Development
The issue of migration and development is currently high on the agenda of both development agencies and research institutes in several European countries. It used to be discussed during the 1960/1970s within a framework which, among others, comprised push-and pull factors in migration, brain drain, remittances and return migration. Its return on the development agenda occurs within the context of European post-modern societies, globalization and …
Asia and Europe: Transnationalism, Multiple Linkages and Development
Currently, the role of migrants and migrant diasporas in the development of their countries of origin has been more and more in the limelight. It is now widely acknowledged that labor migrants send substantial amounts of remittances back home and that these could have a profound impact on the socio-economic development in the villages, regions and countries of origin. Moreover, it is becoming increasingly clear that over the years migrant diaspor…
Socio‐Economic Change and Rural Entrepreneurs in Pre‐Crisis East Java, Indonesia: Case Study of a Madurese Upland Community
This paper examines the roles and economic strategies of rural entrepreneurs in a Madurese community in East Java, Indonesia. The incorporation of rural communities into the regional economy through commercial sugarcane production provided opportunities for entrepreneurs to expand their enterprises. They diversified their economic activities through their investment strategies and social networking. They dominated the local economy through their …
Re-imagining Borders: Malay Identity and Indonesian Migrants in Malaysia
In multi-ethnic Malaysia, the Malays are the politically dominant group, although they lag behind the Chinese and Indians in terms of the average income. Their dominant position explains why the question of Malay identity is an issue of national importance. This paper argues that the meaning of being Malay has gradually been changed, stressing Islamic religion more than language and customs. It implies that the Malays are more conscious of being …

Taikongs and Calos: The Role of Middlemen and Brokers in Javanese International Migration
Taikongs and Calos: The Role of Middlemen and Brokers in Javanese International Migration
This article discusses international migration from Java in the past and present and the role brokers have played in stimulating this movement. It describes legal and clandestine labor migration to Singapore, Malaysia, and Saudi Arabia, the influence of employment brokers on the process, and the organization of the recruitment networks. The involvement of brokers is crucial but not always beneficial for the migrants. Migrants are dependent on the…
