abstract: 'The regional labor market in Southeast Asia is second only to China and
India. Its development is subjected to the movement of labor force
within the region. The flow of intraregional migrants has begun to grow
since the 1990s, reflecting imbalances in the distribution of labor
among the countries of the region and the existence of significant
differences between them in household income, wages and competitiveness,
working conditions and employment opportunities. The number of labor
emigrants in 2015 was 10.2 million people, of which 6.8 million found
work in the region itself. The positive results of labor migration are
indisputable for both importing countries and exporters of labor. The
first, which include Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, by attracting
foreign workers cover the shortage of labor force in their labor market,
especially in labor-intensive industries. The bulk of migrants from
neighboring countries are semi-skilled and unskilled labor. Its main
suppliers are Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Indonesia and, to a lesser
extent, Vietnam. In these countries, due to higher rates of population
growth and its rejuvenation, excess labor has emerged, which does not
have the opportunity to find employment in still underdeveloped
economies. Intraregional migration facilitates the solution of the
problem of poverty and employment in these countries, raising the level
of skills of the workforce, and the flow of funds into the economy
through the remittances of migrant workers. However, intraregional
migration brings not only economic benefits to the countries of the
region, but also creates certain difficulties for them, since it is
often accompanied by exploitation, violence of migrants, especially
illegal ones. Although labor migration in labor-importing countries is
regulated by laws that restrict the entry of migrants from neighboring
countries and the duration of their stay in the country, these measures
are not sufficient to stop the flow of illegal migrants. Costly and
time-consuming bureaucratic procedure for obtaining a visa, the high
cost of services of labor agencies, brevity and rigidity of labor
contracts - all these factors encourage migrants to seek informal
channels to move to another country. To combat illegal migration,
various means of policy are used: the deportation of illegal migrants,
their criminal prosecution (applies also to the entrepreneur who hires
an illegal worker), periodically conducted campaigns for their
registration and amnesty. However, these measures are ineffective in
terms of reducing the influx of illegal migrants, and most importantly,
are detrimental to the economy. The migration policies carried out in
Malaysia and Thailand do not satisfy the needs of their economic
development. In Singapore, the solution to these problems is ensured by
the presence of an effective migration management system. Given the
prospects for the development of integration processes in Southeast
Asia, the problem of improving the management of intraregional migration
is of particular importance. The ways to solve it are seen not so much
in the tightening of migration policies in host countries, but in the
removal of those barriers that impede the free movement of labor force
within the region through legal channels. The task of the countries is
to make amendments to their migration systems, including the elimination
of any forms and types of exploitation of migrants.'
