Abstract
This paper provides a comprehensive assessment of international migration in the Asia-Pacific region and reviews internal migration in China. After putting Asia-Pacific migration in a global context, it reviews trends in migration and the impacts of migrants in the major migrant receiving countries, patterns of migration and their development impacts in migrant-sending countries, the human development impacts of migration, and three policy issues, viz, new seasonal worker programs for Pacific Islanders in New Zealand and Australia, required local sponsorship of foreigners in the Gulf countries, and the economic effects of migrants in the USand Thailand. Recent trends in internal migration in China, which shares attributes of international migration because of the hukou (household registration) system, are also assessed.

| Do Remittances Decay? Evidence from Tuvaluan migrants in New Zealand by Aunese Makoi Simati and John Gibson |
| Many Pacific Island states are concerned that remittances may decline in the future as links between migrants and home countries weaken.
This paper uses specially collected survey data
to analyse the remittance behaviour of Tuvaluan migrants in New Zealand. The results do not support the hypothesis that remittances decrease with the length of time that migrants spend in
the host country.
