Comparison can be made on basis of • Historical evolution of migration • Determinants and driving forces • Institutions and Policy Framework
Important differences: • Unlike the EU, “free movement of labour” is not a founding principle of ASEAN • EU is faced with strong migration pressures from third countries, not ASEAN • EU – welfare states vs ASEAN capitalism • Differentials in levels of economic development much narrower in EU than in ASEAN
