Dr. Seema Gaur is a Senior Economist at the Indian Economic Service. She has worked on international migration issues relating to both low skilled and high skilled workers at the field level in Lebanon and Singapore, among other countries.
The first volume of the migration and the Arab World series dealt primarily with the trends in, consequences of, and policy responses to labor migration in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states since the “oil boom” period of the 1970s. This volume focuses on the countries of the Mashreq (i.e., Egypt and the Levant) as source and destination countries for various migrant groups, dating from the late 19th century up to the present day.
