Summary:	"This book examines the flows of people and money in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The book outlines the reasons that made the Gulf region a destination for millions of migrants. Taking advantage of the discovery of large hydrocarbon reserves and relatively stable political environment, the GCC countries filled the large demand for labor with foreign workers. The number, share and source of expatriates have presented serious challenges for the region, however. The book discusses these consequences on the composition of the labor force and remittance outflows. The book also highlights the status of data in the region"--
