Jobs in Asia
Well over half of the world’s population lives in Asia, a fact that is sometimes lost in the Western world. Indeed, with so much cultural and historical complexity, it seems unfair to even group the entire Asian continent under one category. Yet, geographical ties do create some similarities amid the vast diversity. While much of the continent remains underdeveloped, many Asian countries’ have economies that are beginning to catch up at exponential rates, making it a great place to seek out jobs abroad.

A Guide to Working Abroad in Asia
Locations
There are around 50 countries on the world’s largest continent, each with a distinct national and cultural identity. As an English speaker you can look for work just about anywhere – which countries present the best opportunity really depends on the line of work your are looking to get into.
In the far East, China, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea are some of the most popular destinations where to work abroad. Though very different culturally from one another, each country has a booming economy and a moderately to highly developed infrastructure (Japan easily the most so).
In Southeast Asia, countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines are also all promising locations to find jobs abroad. These are the four so-called “tiger cub economies,” countries where many investors and economists see the emerging actualization of great potential for growth.
The Indian subcontinent, which encompasses countries south of the Himalayas including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal, can be another rewarding place to look for a job abroad. Though one of the world’s poorest regions, there is great cultural richness and complexity to the area, and it is truly a fascinating place to live abroad.
Finally western Asia, including countries such as Saudi Arabia, Israel, Turkey, and the UAE, is the choice of many where to work abroad as well. Though currently hindered by regional instability, Western Asia is a beautiful and fascinating region with many promising job opportunities.
