![MIGRATION: POLITICAL REASONS
1. The administration is inefficient
2. The cost to the government are high
3. The program relies on aid from abroad [e.g. from the world bank]
MIGRATION: ECONOMIC REASONS
Relate to the labor standards of a country, its unemployment
situations and overall health of its economy
Economic migrants are drawn towards international migration
because of the prospect of higher wages, better employment
opportunities and often a desire to escape the domestic social
and political situation of their home country.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/globalmigration-250130064001-cabb8f8b/85/Global-Migration-powerpoint-presentation-13-320.jpg)

- 3. The nuances of the movements of people around the world can be seen through the categories of migrants-"vagabonds" and "tourists" (Bauman, 1998). Vagabonds are on the move "because they have to be" (Ritzer, 2015, p. 179)-they are not faring well in their home countries and are forced to move in the hope that their circumstances will improve. Tourists, on the other hand, are on the move because they want to be and because they can afford it.
- 4. Refugees are vagabonds forced to flee their home countries due to safety concerns (Haddad, 2003). Asylum seekers are refugees who seek to remain in the country to which they flee. According to Kritz (2008), those who migrate to find work are involved in labor migration. Labor migration is driven by "push" factors (e.g., lack of employment opportunities in home countries), as well as "pull" factors (work available elsewhere). Labor migration mainly involves the flow of less-skilled and unskilled workers, as well as illegal immigrants who live on the margins of the host society (Landler, 2007).
- 5. Unlike other global flows, labor migration still faces many restrictions. Many of these barriers are related to the Westphalian conception of the nation sting and are intimately associated with it, Shamir (2005) discussed that the state may seek to control migration because it involves the loss of part of the workforce An influx of migrants can lead to conflicts with local residents. Concerns abou terrorism also affect the desire of the state to restrict population flows (Moses, 2006). Migration is traditionally governed either by "push" factors such as politica persecution, economic depression, war, and famine in the home country or by "pull" factors such as a favorable mmigration policy, a labor shortage, and a similarity of language and culture in the country of destination (Ritzer, 2015) Global factors, which facilitate easy access to information about the country of destination, also exert a significant influence.
- 6. Many countries face issues of illegal migration. The United States faces a major influx of illegal immigrants from Mexico and other Central American states (Thompson, 2008). A fence is being constructed on the US-Mexico border to control this flow of people (Fletcher and Weisman, 2006). However, its efficacy is questioned and it is thought that it will only lead illegal immigrants to adopt more dangerous methods to gain entry. In addition, tighter borders have also had the effect of "locking in" people who might otherwise have left the country (Fears, 2006). Other countries with similar concerns about illegal immigration include Great Britain, Switzerland, and Greece as well as countries in Asia. A strong case can be made on the backlash against illegal immigrants (Economist, 2008, January 3, "Keep the Borders Open"). In the North, such immigrants constitute a younger workforce that does work which locals may not perform, and they are consumers who contribute to growth. They also send remittances back to family members in the country of origin, which improves the lives of the recipients, reduces poverty rates, and increases the level of education as well as the foreign reserves of the home country (Economist 2007, November 1) Banks are often unwilling or unable to handle the type (small amounts of money) and volume of remittances. As a result, specialized organizations play a major role in the transmission of remittances. According to Malkin (2007), the Philippines is one of the leaders when it comes to the flow of remittances ($14.7 bilion), next to India ($24.5 billion) and China ($21.1 billion).
- 7. The term "diaspora" has been increasingly used to describe migrant communities. Of particular interest is Paul Gilroy's (1993) conceptualization of the diaspora as a transnational process, which involves dialogue to both imagined and real locales. Diasporization and globalization are closely interconnected and the expansion of the latter will lead to an increase in the former (Dufois, 2007). Today, there exists "virtual diasporas" (Laguerre, 2003) which utilize technology such as the internet to maintain the community network.
- 8. SOME REASONS FOR GLOBAL MIGRATION Safety Natural disaster Political conflict Education Family Career Economic betterment
- 9. PUSH-PULL FACTORS I. Pull factors are factors in the destination country that attract the individual or group to leave their home. II. Push factor refers to conditions which force people to leave their homes.
- 10. PULL FACTORS I. These factors attract people to a new place largely because of the opportunities presented in the new location were not available to them previously. II.The beneficial elements that the new country presents encourage people to migrate there in order to seek a better life for their families.
- 11. PUSH FACTORS I. Don’t require a person to leave their home, the conditions impacting the push factors often negatively impact the quality of life for the person if they choose to stay’ II. Places that experience drought and famine, war conflicts and/or high unemployment would contribute to the push factors that tigger migration for that country’s resident.
- 12. MIGRATION; PHYSICAL REASONS I. This category may include hurricanes, tornadoes, eartquakes, and flooding. II.May include famine, overpopulation, prolonged drought, and increasingly, sea level rise.
- 13. MIGRATION: POLITICAL REASONS 1. The administration is inefficient 2. The cost to the government are high 3. The program relies on aid from abroad [e.g. from the world bank] MIGRATION: ECONOMIC REASONS Relate to the labor standards of a country, its unemployment situations and overall health of its economy Economic migrants are drawn towards international migration because of the prospect of higher wages, better employment opportunities and often a desire to escape the domestic social and political situation of their home country.
- 14. MIGRATION: TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENT Has the potential to increase the rate of curiculur migration. MIGRATION: CULTURE FACTORS According to the United Nations, refugees are people who have been forced to migrate from their homes and cannot return for fear of persecution because of their race, religion, nationality, membership in a social group, or political opinion.
- 15. TYPES OF MIGRATIONS: VOLUNTARY MIGRATIONS: People move by choice, typically for better job prospects, education, or improved living conditions. FORCED MIGRATION: This includes refugees asylum seekers, and internally displaced persons (IDPs), often due to conflict, persecution, or natural disaster. LABOR MIGRATION: Individuals move in search of work, often to countries with higher demand for workers or better wages. SEASONAL MIGRATION:Temporary movement, typically for agricultural work work or other seasonal industries.
- 16. Global migration has significant social, economic, and political implications, both for the countries people are leaving and those they are moving to. Some benefits of migration includes increased cultural diversity, workforce expansion, and remittance inflows. Recent trends indicate that migration is becoming more complex due to factors like climate change political instability and the tighthening ofn borders in some countries.
