2. DEFINITION
Human migration is the movement by people from one place to another with the intention of
settling temporarily or permanently in the new location. The movement is typically over long
distances and from one country to another, but internal migration is also possible. Migration may
be individuals, family units or in large groups
3. Internal migration refers to human migration within one geopolitical entity, usually a nation.
Reasons for internal migration tend to be different from those for cross-border migration;
whereas the latter often occurs primarily for political or economic reasons, reasons for internal
migration prominently include travel for education and for economical, but not for political
reasons.
Rural to urban migration—the movement of people from the countryside to cities in search of
opportunities.
DEFINITION
6. TREND OF GLOBAL MIGRATION
In 2013, 232 million people – 3.2 per cent of the world's population – lived outside their country
of origin
In 2013, 81.9 million migrants from developing countries lived in a developed country, while
82.3 million migrants from developing countries lived in another developing country.
7.
8. One of the most significant changes in migration patterns in the last half
century is that more women are migrating on their own than ever before.
Women now constitute almost half the international migrant population, and in
some countries, as much as 70 or 80 per cent
Top migrant destination: USA (42,788,029); Russia (12,270,388); Germany (
10,758,061).
Top emigration countries: Mexico (11,859,236); India (11,360,823); Russia
(11,034,681)
TREND OF GLOBAL MIGRATION
9. 1.To escape conflict or violence :
In many countries, families and individuals who immigrate to escape conflicts like war and violence can be
considered for refugee status or asylum.
If you add to the mix those coming from Syria, Iraq, Somalia, and some parts of Nigeria – then the total
proportion of migrants likely to qualify for asylum rises to well over 70%.
2.To find refuge after natural disasters due to climate change:
Natural disasters and other environmental factors caused by climate change are real threats that affect people
living in poverty.
A predict of Christian Aid reports: 1 billion people could be displaced in the next 50 years as the effects of
climate change worsen.
This is a newer phenomenon, and many countries are still trying to determine how to respond to this growing
issue.
10. 3.To seek superior healthcare:
Living in a country with limited access to healthcare, when you’re suffering from serious health problems.
Not fun.
Ex: France, Canada and the USA
4.To escape poverty:
The most commonly assumed reason for immigration.
Ex: African migrate to European countries
5.To offer more opportunities to children:
Parents sometimes make the difficult decision to migrate so their children can benefit from things like
superior education, and plentiful job opportunities.
11. 6.For educational purposes:
Some study abroad to seek out better educational opportunities than are available in their own countries,
with top-class universities, high schools, colleges, professional institutes or no matter what, students can
get themselves enrolled in any of them in accordance with their preference levels, while others simply want
the thrill of living in an exciting, new place.
7.For jobs and business opportunities:
People migrate with the knowledge or hope that more opportunities will be available to them in their
particular field than at home.
Ex: labor export
12. 8.Family reunification :
Ex: Vietnamese babylift
9.Marriage:
Ex: Taiwan
10.Political reasons :
People immigrate to maintain a global presence amongst various countries. Moreover, few think that they
are not decked with ample political freedom, so they immigrate to other countries in search of the same.
Some change their citizenship to gain a new identity, some to get political rights and others for a better
living ambiance.
Ex: Freedom of speech is one of the most important aspects of American constitution.
17. Effects on the Host Country
The vast majority have ended up in Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey. Lebanon - the smallest of the
three, with a population of four million - has more than 700,000 registered refugees. Jordan and
Turkey are hosts to more than 960,000 others.
18. Effects on the Host Country
Economic impacts
Welfare issues
Social attitudes – Racism, Islamphobia, Ghettoization
Germany is staring at some pretty scary demographic figures—by 2060, Germany’s aging
population is expected to shrink from 81.3 million to 70.8 million
20. Effects on the Home Country
Remittances - Mexico receives $14 billion per year in remittances;
Egypt receives $1 billion.
Loss of revenue
Families left behind
“Brain drain”
Population decrease
21. MIGRATION SOLUTION
An estimated 232 million people currently live outside their country of origin, many having moved for a
variety of reasons in which the search for protection and the search for opportunity are inextricably
entwined.
Migrants are often to be found working in jobs that are dirty, dangerous and degrading (the 3 Ds). While
for some migration is a positive and empowering experience, far too many migrants have to endure
human rights violations, discrimination, and exploitation.
22. MIGRATION SOLUTION
Migrants Rights International
(MRI) is a global, non-
governmental alliance of migrant
associations, human rights, labor,
religious, academic and other
organizations which operate at
the local, national, regional or
international level.
23. Family-Based Immigration
There is no numerical limit on visas
available for immediate relatives, but
petitioners must meet certain age and
financial requirements. Immediate relatives
are:
Spouses of U.S. citizens.
Unmarried minor children of U.S.
citizens (under 21 years old).
Parents of U.S. citizens (petitioner must
be at least 21 years old to petition for a
parent)
MIGRATION SOLUTION
24. MIGRATION SOLUTION
A greater proportion of European Union migrants have
jobs in Britain than native citizens, new figures have
shown, prompting new concerns about the number of jobs
going to the immigrant workforce.
As a migrant worker you are protected by the same laws
that protect other workers in the UK. You should receive
equal pay to British workers doing the same work.
The national minimum wage for workers aged 21 and
over is £6.70 an hour. This is the lowest wage you can be
paid per hour. The national minimum wage does depend
on your age and is less if you are under 21.
26. MIGRATION SOLUTION
Create employment opportunities to reduce on mobility of labor.
Promote agriculture and farming in order to avoid poverty among people.
Improve on transport and communication network.
Improve on infrastructural development by constructing modern schools and hospitals.
Improve on security and provide security services in rural areas in order to promote peace.
Make land reforms to enable the poor and low income earners get access on land.
Sensitive people regarding the effects of rural urban migration and how they can develop themselves in villages.
Provide credit facilities in rural areas to enable easy accessibility on finance.
Editor's Notes
So far this year, more than 430,000 migrants have crossed the Mediterranean to enter Europe -- more than twice the number who did so in 2014. Given their countries of origin (the largest proportions from Syria, Eritrea and Afghanistan), most are likely to have a credible claim for refugee status, and few are likely to be going home anytime soon. Many are here to stay
Issues of identity: Post 9/11 this has been a huge issue for Arab-American and Muslim-American immigrants (and even second- and third-generations) - where do loyalties lie? Which side do they support? In addition, the past 25 years have seen the “hyphenization” of Americans - we are now “Mexican-American,” “Jewish-American,” “Italian-American,” etc.
Issues of adaptation and assimilation: this can be traced over generations as ancestral languages are lost and replaced by the language of the new country.
Differing cultural values between generations. the young generations, born abroad, struggling against the ‘restrictive’ values of the immigrant generation that seem archaic and ‘old fashioned.’
Cultural changes in identity can be stressful and result in problems with self-esteem and mental health - Post-migration stresses include culture shock and conflict, both of which may lead to a sense of cultural confusion, feelings of alienation and isolation, and depression.
77,000 cô dâu Việt Nam tại Ðài Loan. Dự tính trong khoảng hai năm nữa con số cô dâu Việt Nam tại Ðài Loan sẽ lên tới khoảng 100,000 người. Nếu cứ phỏng tính mỗi gia đình sinh 2 người con, như thế tối thiểu sẽ có khoảng 200,000 đứa bé có huyết tộc lai Ðài Loan Việt Nam. Nếu chúng ta không chú trọng đến điểm quan trọng này, Ðài Loan sẽ phải đối diện với rất nhiều rắc rối trong tương lai về nhiều tệ nạn xã hội xãy ra".
Economic impact
Positive: Immigrants will often do jobs that people in the host country will not, or cannot do; Migrant workers often work longer hours and for lower salaries, and while that is controversial, sometimes exploitive, it benefits the host country;
Negative: Immigrants can be exploited for their cheap labor
EX: Leban: It is having a negative impact on local economies. Sure, when an employer is firing Lebanese to hire Syrians they are saving money, but many Syrians are getting into debt on so many levels - medication, shelter, transport. And some of the small Lebanese shops go into debt because they are surrounded by refugees. The refugees ask for things like rice, bread or beans but they are not able to pay.
Despite this lack of a correlation between the loss of jobs and the hiring of immigrants, there is still a popular perception that one of the main factors in rising unemployment rates is that immigrants are willing to work for less and are therefore being hired en masse to replace laid-off workers.
Refugees not as an obligation or a threat -- but as an opportunity, workplace diversity can boost productivity, as a number of U.S. and U.K. studies have shown.
Welfare issues
Negative: Where there is a perception that immigrants and refugees appear to get more benefits than local poor people, tensions and hostilities can also rise;
The war in Syria has become more protracted, there has been increasing tension between the communities. In some towns, the population has doubled. This has been putting a lot of pressure on health services, educational services. Waste management is not enough to cope
Social attitudes
Positive: For the host country’s economy, immigrants offer an increased talent pool, if they have been well educated in their original country
Immigrants, when made to feel welcome in the host society, can contribute to the diversity of that society, which can help with tolerance and understanding;
EX: Germany is staring at some pretty scary demographic figures—by 2060, Germany’s aging population is expected to shrink from 81.3 million to 70.8 million. Admitting hundreds of thousands of migrants will help shore up its labor base for years to come and pay for a social safety net that will have to catch many more people.
Negative: Immigration can become a social/political issue, where racism can be used to exploit feelings or as an excuse for current woes of local population
Racism - Jordan EX: north in a smaller village, one of the older Jordanian men said: "Syrian men come here and Syrian men wear shorts. We don't do that here."
Islamophobia - a hatred or fear of Islam or Muslims, especially when feared as a political force. The backdrop to this [migrant crisis] is the difficulty that many European countries have in integrating minorities into the social mainstream. Many of these immigrants are coming from Muslim countries, and the relationship between immigrant Muslim communities and the majority populations is not good
Ghettoization - put in or restrict to an isolated or segregated place, group, or situation
The striking difference between Europe and Turkey's handling of the refugee situation in their countries is clearly portrayed in this photo, where the left represents a shot from a refugee camp in Turkey's southern district of Şuruç, while the image on the right were taken of make shift camps where migrants in the French city of Calais are forced to spend their time until they get a chance to flee to the U.K.
Remittances - money made by nationals working abroad and sent to relatives in the home country.
Mexico receives $14 billion per year in remittances; Egypt receives $1 billion.
Loss of revenue
Money made outside of the country is not subject to taxes
Families left behind
Families left without both parents
Traditional societies threatened
“Brain drain”
Young people educated elsewhere but do not return home, stay in host country where the money is better
As many of them study abroad on state-sponsored scholarships, this is an investment in human development not returned.
Population decrease
