Migration and Globalization

Migration is the movement of people across countries for better employment or living conditions.
Increased labor mobility in recent decades has led to greater global integration and cultural exchange.
Migrants provide low-cost labor, boosting business competitiveness and export potential, ultimately improving shareholder profits and productivity.
Migrants often send money home, significantly increasing household incomes and boosting demand in their home countries, benefiting multinational corporations (MNCs) and stimulating trade and globalization.
Skilled migrants fill labor shortages, accelerating economic growth and national income.
Globalization is influenced by more than just migration, including factors like trade negotiations, and the opening of closed economies.
Trade organizations like the WTO negotiate rounds of trade liberalization to reduce barriers and promote global trade.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) leads to increased income, demand for goods & services, and ultimately increased trade & globalization.
Economic blocs such as the EU and AfCFTA promote trade liberalization.
Political changes, particularly the opening of previously closed economies, increase integration and lower trade/travel costs.
Migration is a key driver of globalization, but other factors like investment play a significant role.
