{"product_id":"9781403946744","title":"International Labour Migration: Foreign Workers and Public Policy","description":"Studies of international labour migration typically assume that foreign labour is a universal feature of wealthy economies. Exploitation of foreign workers can contribute significantly to employers' profits. However, some wealthy societies do not import workers on a large scale, despite employers' pressures. Using Israel and Japan as empirical cases, this comparative-historical work investigates why some governments allow employers relatively free access to foreign labour, while others require alternative responses to labour shortages. A focus on variation leads to an innovative and insightful argument to explain international labour migration.","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47054086439152,"sku":"9781403946744","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781403946744_p0.jpg?v=1763715683","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781403946744","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
