Study Notes

Global Population and Mobility

  • Global migration is a defining feature of global dynamics, encompassing economic mobility and humanitarian refuge
  • Individuals migrate for opportunities, safety, and new beginnings
  • Migration is voluntary (e.g., vacations, reunions) or forced (e.g., seeking employment, asylum, or trafficking)

Global Migration Types

  • Labor: People move for better jobs, higher wages, or improved work conditions, often due to economic disparities between countries
  • Family Reunification: Individuals migrate to join family members already settled in another country
  • Asylum: People flee countries due to persecution, conflict, violence, or natural disasters, seeking refuge under international refugee law
  • Environmental: People migrate due to environmental disasters like drought, flooding, sea-level rise, or other changes impacting livelihoods
  • Unauthorized/Illegal: Some migrants enter countries without legal permission or overstay visas, often due to lack of legal pathways or economic hardship (including trafficking victims)

Factors Impacting Global Migration

  • Economic: Disparities in income, job opportunities, and living standards between countries drive labor migration
  • Political: Political instability, conflict, persecution, human rights violations, and lack of political freedom lead to seeking safety in other countries
  • Environmental: Climate change and environmental degradation can displace people seeking suitable environments
  • Society and Demography: Demographic changes like aging populations in developed countries can drive demand for migrant labor in healthcare and eldercare

Impact of Migration on Countries

  • Economy: Migrants often contribute to economies in both host and home countries (through labor and taxes, remittances to home countries)
  • Cultural Diversity: Migration enriches societies with new languages, traditions, cuisines, etc.
  • Labor Market Dynamics: Migrants fill labor shortages, but also face exploitation and discrimination
  • Social Integration: Successful integration depends on policies promoting inclusion in education, healthcare, and employment
  • Political and Policy Challenges: Migration affects border control, security, social cohesion, and public perception

Trends & Patterns in Migration

  • Significant migration flows from developing to developed countries and within similar regions
  • Examples include migration from Latin America to the US, Middle East and Africa to Europe
  • Filipinos are a major overseas worker group (OFWs) motivated by labor needs

Impacts of Migration on Sending vs. Receiving Countries

  • Sending Country: Remittances can boost local economies, but there is loss of skilled labor (brain drain)
  • Receiving Country: Migrants fill labor shortages, enrich culture, and contribute to economic growth, but potentially face social cohesion challenges, integration problems, and pressure on public services

Global Governance and Cooperation

  • Addressing the challenges and opportunities of global migration requires international cooperation, adherence to human rights, national-level and international-level policies
  • Policies vary widely; some countries adopt open policies, while others impose strict controls
  • Global Compact for Migration aims to manage migration safely and orderly
