title: Population movement in the Asia Pacific region: Singapore perspective.
abstract: "This article [is] structured to give some brief overview of the trends and characteristics of population movement in the Asia Pacific region.  Wherever relevant, the implications of these regional and global trends for Singapore will be highlighted to offer a better appreciation of its case study. This will touch on Singapore's own experiences of outflow and inflow of people and its policies and philosophy on such movement.  Noted are implications on labor policy arising from Singapore's strategy to become a capital exporter and anchor itself in economies like China."
