Globalization involves the increasing integration and interdependence of economies, societies, and cultures through cross-border movement of goods, capital, services, technologies, information, and people. Key aspects of globalization discussed in the document include economic globalization through international trade and foreign direct investment; social globalization working towards equitable development goals; political globalization involving multilateral cooperation and non-governmental organizations; and environmental globalization concerning issues like climate change and ecological exchanges across borders. Labor migration is also addressed, with the Philippines pursuing policies since the 1970s to encourage emigration for employment opportunities abroad to stimulate the domestic economy.
