Three types of economic cooperation, aid, direct investment and international migration of labor are investigated for their impact on income distribution. Findings are as follows ;(1) People in a country with low income tend to move for overseas work toward a country with higher income in neighhorhood. Japan has become a target country since the late 1980s.(2) Among Asian countries the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Indonesia send a large amount of labor to outside countries. In particular the size of remittances amounts to 5 percent of GNP in Sri Lanka.(3) The remittances deteriorate the domestic income distribution in the Philippines.(4) One million of people are employed in the Japanese firms in Asia. Absolute number of workers is large in Thailand, Korea and Malaysia but the number of workers relative to the whole work force is largest in Singapore.(5) The number of jobs created by the Japanese firms is almost the same as the number of international migration in Asia.(6) The Japanese aid is given to the countries with lowest income to contribute to the reduction of income differential. Contrary to the world deterioration of income distribution, income inequality among Asian countries are improved in the 1980s, owing to rapid economic growth in this area.

研究了三种类型的经济合作，援助，直接投资和国际劳动迁移的劳动对收入分配的影响。发现如下：（1）一个低收入国家的人们倾向于向海外工作迁移到一个邻居收入较高的国家。自1980年代后期以来，日本已成为一个目标国家。（2）在亚洲国家，菲律宾，斯里兰卡，孟加拉国和印度尼西亚向外部国家提供大量劳动。特别是，斯里兰卡的汇款规模占GNP的5％。（3）汇款降低了菲律宾的国内收入分配。（4）亚洲日本公司雇用了100万人。在泰国，韩国和马来西亚，绝对数量的工人数量很大，但相对于整个劳动力的工人人数在新加坡最大。（5）日本公司创造的工作数量几乎与亚洲的国际移民数量相同。与收入分配的世界恶化相反，由于该领域的经济增长快速增长，亚洲国家的收入不平等得到了改善。
