GLOBAL POPULATION and MOBILITY Prepared by: GROUP 1  THE GLOBAL CITY Cities in globalizing world although globalization certainly affects rural and urban areas ,global forces are centered in cities.It is in cities that global operations are centralized and where we can see most clearly the phenomena associated with their activities ,whether it can be changes in the structure of employment ,the formation of powerful partnerships,the development of monumental real estate ,the emergence of new forms of local governance ,the effects of organized crime,the expansion of corruption ,the fragmentation of informal networks or the spatial isolation and social exclusion of certain population groups. A global city (also known as a power city, world city, alpha city, or world center) is a city that serves as a primary node in the global economic network. A Global city is a city that has a power to affect global issues and change the global outlook. Global cities plays an important role in shaping global economy ,culture,and society burt they are shaped by it.  THREE KEY TENDENCIES THREE KEY TENDENCIES SEEM TO FOLLOW FROM THESE STRUCTURAL FACTS ABOUT GLOBAL CITIES One is the Concentration of worth in the hands of owners , partners, and professionals associated with the high-end in this system. Second is a growing disconnection between the city and its regions. Third is the growth of a a large marginalized population that has a very hard time earning a living in the marketplace defined by these high-end activities. CHARACTERISTICS OF GLOBAL CITY A variety of international financial services. notably in finance, insurance real estate, banking accountancy, and marketing. Headquarters of several multinational corporations Considerable decision- making power on a daily basis and at a global level. Domination of the trade and economy of a large area. Major manufacturing centers with port and container facilities. The Execestine of financial headquarters, a stock exchange, and major financial institutions. Center of new ideas and innovation in bussines, economic culture, and politics. CHARACTERISTICS OF GLOBAL CITY Centers of media and communications for global networks Dominance of the national region with great international significance High percentage of residents employed in the services sector and information sector High-quality educational institutions, renowned universities, international student attendance and research facilities Multi- functional infrastructure offering some of the best legal, medical, and entertainment facilities in the country High diversity in language, culture, religion, and ideologies Reasons of Increase in Global Cities The rise of global cities has been linked with two globalization-related trends: first, the expansion of the role of transnational corporations (TNCs) in global production patterns and, second, the decline of mass production along Fordist lines and the concomitant rise of flexible production centred within urban areas. Criticisms of Global Cities Global cities are major cities that mainly contribute to the economic aspect of a country to international matters. However it may be viewed from a negative perspective that they are more focused on their reach to other global cities that they almost neglect cities coming from the same nation as them.  l o b a l D e m o gr a p h y G In the social sciences, demography refers to numerous techniques that can be utilized to statistically assess the population of a given area. Demographers can work for research institutions, governments, and other bodies. They may study the geographic distribution and movement of human populations or compile statistics such as birthrates, etc.  As its name suggests, global demography is the study of the worldwide population rather than the population of a specific country, region, or city. Global demographic statistics can also provide a base for comparison against more specific statistics, providing insight into how the demographics of different places compare not just to one another, but to the global average.  DEMOGRAPHICS Demographics: the statistical data of a population, especially those showing average age, income, education, etc. Is the study of a population based on factors such as age,race and sex.Governments ,corporations,and non-government organizations use demographics to learn more about a population characteristics for many purposes [including policy development and economic market research]  HOW D?EMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION IS USED? Most large companies conduct demographic research to determine how to market their product or service and best capture the target audience. It is valuable to know the current customer and where the potential customer may come from in the future. Demographic trends are also important, since the size of different demographic  DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION STAGE 1 STAGE 2 Pre - Transition: Early Transition: Characterized by high birth rates, During the early stages of the and high fluctuating rates. transition, the death rate begins to fall. As birth rates remain high The population strarts to grow rapidly. STAGE 3 STAGE 4 Late Transition: Post - Transition: Post - transitional societies are Birth rates start to characterized by low birth and low death decline, the rate of rates. population growth Population growth is negligible, or even enters a decline decelerates  LIMITATIONS OF DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION MODEL DTM has it's limitation wherein it can't reveal the impact of other demographic variables such as migration, age, household, employment and income. It doesn't also tell how long a country will be in each stage of transition.  GLOBAL MIGRATION Is the situation in which people go to live in foreign countries,especially to find work. Most global migration is from developing countries to developed ones. Global migration can be understood as a cause and effect relationship,though the causes are just as numerous as their effects.People move across international borders for a variety of reasons.  EMIGRATION:the act of leaving one's own country to settle permanently in another; moving abroad. IMMIGRATION:the action of coming to live permanently in a foreign country. TYPES OF MIGRATION INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION: movement of people from one country to another INTERNAL MIGRATION: any movement from one place to another from the same country. OTHER CATEGORIES OF INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION IMMIGRANTS:those who moved permanently to other countries CONTRACT MIGRATIONS:those who stay in another country for a fixed period ILLEGAL MIGRANTS:migration of people into another country in violation of the immigration laws of that country. PETITIONED MIGRANTS:migrants whose families have ”petitioned”them to move the destination country. REFUGEES:people who have fled war,violence,conflict or persecution and have crossed an international border to find safety in another country  WHY DO PEOPLE MOVE? 1.POLITICAL- there are people who choose to leave their place due to persistent political violence or recurring political threats People want to live in a peaceful and safe environment 2.ECONOMIC-migrants are pushed to move from one place to another because of unemployment and underdevelopment in their place People choose to live in locations where there are greater economic opportunities  3.CULTURAL-people are pushed to migrate because of cultural diversity ,religious conflict ,racial and other forms of discrimination People become more attracted to countries with democratic space , a place that encourages individual choice and without discrimination. 4.SOCIAL-there are cases where family conflict or a young adult's quest for independence leads to migration. Some women migrate to their husbands place for the sake of their marriage.People want to live in a place with better facilities ,infrastructures and services. PUSH AND PULL FACTORS Im geographical term's, push and pull factors are those that drive people away from a place and draw people to a new location. Push factor Factor's that help migrants decide to leave their home Pull factor Factor's that attract people area where immigrant are going. Migration affects both the place of origin and the place of destination on the various aspects such as environmental aspects, economic aspects, health and social aspects. Environmental Aspects: Migration of people has the direct effect on both, the place of origin and the place of destination. Problems like settlement, over explotation of resources , and the pollution of different kinds will be visible.  Economic Aspects: The consequence on the place of origin will be a loss of economically active groups of the population. Health and Social Aspects: The places of destination are normally those places where facilities are made available to a limited extent so as to fulfill the needs of the native dwellers. However, the places overcrowd with the constant flow of the migrants, and facilities and other needs become insufficient.  OVERSEAS FILIPINO WORKERS (OFW) A person of Filipino origin who lives outside the Philippines. This term applies to Filipinos who are abroad indefinitely as citizens or as permanent residents of a different country and to those Filipino citizens abroad for a limited, definite period, such as on a work contract or a students. Reference: Global Population and Mobility https://www.slideshare.net/JessHenson1/global- population-and-mobility-114930831? fbclid=IwAR3OBcLZ5pbQtHzSUYW6ETy2yIIyzma835 KZuWEgrXAG5HWBDrvLCGDnOmg
