Reforming labour immigration policies of host countries to stamp out labour trafficking in the ASEAN region
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=103273
Human trafficking, including labour trafficking cripples the ASEAN labour hosting countries specially Malaysia and Thailand. Although labour trafficking within ASEAN nations prevails due to the existence of several root causes, this article accentuates, economic inequality between ASEAN nations, covert nature of trafficking regime, overlapping nature of human smuggling and human trafficking, migration policies of host countries are the primary root causes for labour trafficking. Practically, the efforts of ASEAN, including its own convention against trafficking in persons, bi-lateral agreements between its member states, as well as enactments of anti-trafficking laws by individual ASEAN member states have failed to stamp out human trafficking or labour trafficking completely within the region. This article emphasises the urgency of reforming labour immigration policies of ASEAN labour hosting countries to root out labour trafficking and proposes a model policy reform in labour immigration, employment, labour market research, labour regulation and surveillance of employers and employees.

Drawing an unequivocal connection between democracy and migration: the case of Malian youths in Sub-Saharan Africa
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=103274
Drawing an unequivocal connection between migration and democracy has so far been an ignored field of African academic request. This is fairly astounding, since migration suggests key conversation starters to the meaning of democratisation. While huge numbers of the contemporary points in migration inquire about, for example, youth migration and youth's rights in governmental issues, all difficult the compartment model of the country state particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, can without much of a stretch be connected to bigger inquiries of democracy and majority rule advancement, this is once in a while done. However, the rise of migrants as political performing actors is one of the principle developments in the way democracy is standardised. Thinking around migration and democracy, this article analyse the blame lines between democracy and migration in connection to Malian youth in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Impact of river erosion on livelihood and coping strategies of displaced people in South-Eastern Bangladesh
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=103275
Bangladesh is situated in riverine and deltaic region in South Asia where riverbank erosion is a catastrophic climate induced disaster in Bangladesh. The present study has been undertaken to investigate the impact of riverbank erosion on lives and livelihoods of the displaced people in the South-Eastern Bangladesh. Both quantitative and qualitative data have been used through in-depth interviews, focus group discussion and questionnaire survey. The study reveals that riverbank erosion is addressing displacement, hidden hunger and poverty, loss of land and identity of coastal people. Besides, displaced persons face social, economic, cultural stigma in their community. People have used different types of indigenous knowledge to reduce the sufferings of the affected people. The findings of this study are vital for policymakers to articulate and implement effective approaches and programs to reduce vulnerability and to increase the local adaptation processes in order to improve such households' livelihood all over Bangladesh.

Migration and wage labour: a case study of Ghanaians in New York City, 1957-2010
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=103276
Ghanaian migration to the USA is considered a displacement caused by poverty, political instability and the desire for one to improve his or her economic and social status. Such perceptions are usually based on stereotypes rather than theoretically informed empirical evidence. This idea is influenced by media images of massive refugee flows of Africa to the USA. Like any other African immigrants, Ghanaian migration to the USA can be viewed in two main forms; involuntary and voluntary. The involuntary migration experience of Ghanaians in the USA dates to the 16th century when Ghanaians were brought to North America as slaves to provide labour for the 'new world'. Voluntary migration of Ghanaian, on the other hand, became visible during the second half of the 20th century after the country gained its independence from the British. Methodologically, the paper employs the qualitative approach by examining newspapers reports, oral interviews and various secondary sources exploring migration and labour history.
