Migrant Workers In China Case Study

The human species of the world are growing older, and existing longer. Research shows that the average life expectancy of humans living past the age of 80, since the 1800s to that of 2011, has increased by almost 10% per year, with women leading the way with a growth expectancy growing from that of 6.4% to that of 9.6%, surpassing their male counterpart whose life expectancy show an increase from 5.9% to that of 8.2%. As the human life expectancy increases, there also comes an increase concerns by individuals and government official alike in regards to elder care. This literature looks at what is being carried out by individuals as well as government officials to deal with the cost of living longer. We will examination approaches identified

The rapid growth in the number of seniors in America and around the world is creating a global demographic revolution without precedent. During this century, advances in hygiene and water supply and control of infectious diseases have reduced the risk of premature death much. As a result, the proportion of population over 60 years in the world is growing faster than in any previous era. In 1950 there were approximately 200 million people aged over 60 worldwide. By 2000 there will be over 550 million, and by 2025, the number of people over 60 is expected to reach 1,200 million.

The fact that the American population is aging has raised concerns. In 2011, the number of adults over the age of 65 reached 41.4 million, which account for 13.3% of the population ("A Profile of Older Americans: 2012," 2012). It is estimated that there will be about 71 million older adults by 2030 ("Healthy Aging-Improving and Extending Quality of Life among Older Americans," 2009). Approximately 2.1 million elderly are currently living in

There is no doubt that the ageing population is a subject which has attracted much attention of Governments and communities in the world. Even in Australia, it is considered as one of the most crucial challenges which will have to confront in the next 25 years ( Hugo, 2014). Population ageing is defined as a change in the age structure of a country toward older ages. This is the repercussion of many elements such as the declining fertility rate, baby boom period and advanced technology in medical and healthcare extending longevity.While a number of studies have been done into proving this trend having several negative effects, it can be argued that there are many beneficial impacts both on national economy and society. This essay aims to look at the positive influences of older population on the workforce, then the Australian Government Budget, and finally the community.

Although temporary migrant worker, also known as foreign worker (TFW), programs are employed by virtually every country, there are varying degrees of effectiveness in regards to enforcement human rights, economic development and consideration of the domestic workforce. Migrant workers, defined as “workers...employed in a country other than their own” (ILO, 1999, pg. 1), face challenges such as exploitation, cultural barriers and labour safety. Policy advisors are the ones who tackle these challenges and make changes in policy to adapt to economic tides and state of affairs. There are three perspectives who can help develop new policies to fix the migrant worker issues: policy advisors in developed nations, policy advisors in developing nations

Adults age 65 years and older make up around 13 percent of the population (39 million people). This number is likely to increase significantly over the next 30+ years to encompass about 20 percent of the population (88.5 million). It is gathered that about 1 in 10 adults age 65

It is vital for health professional to advocate for policies that will advance the access to health care, equality of services, and their ethical oath to do no harm. Yes, from an ethical stand point health professionals should advocate for minimum wage laws to apply to migrant farmworkers. The minimum wage laws in the US exists because many in society believes a company has a responsibility to ensure that their workers earn enough to live on. This belief means that works would be able to provide support their needs for food, clothing, shelter, and self-care (education and health). Structural violence looks at how social structures or institutions harm people by preventing them from meeting their basic needs.

In Rethinking Age and Aging, by Warren Sanderson and Sergei Scherbov, the concept of life-expectancy changing the meaning of age is explored in great detail. As quality of life and life expectancy improve, the ability of people to maintain certain lifestyles for longer grows. This ability is changing how society manages questions of age, with regards to social policy and age-specific benefits.

The information and statistics gathered regarding the vets and their families leads me to think that the vet project is an idea we should further key in on. I think the idea of having a way for these families, especially those with a son/sons, to experience a “fatherly” sports day is spectacular and should be taken heavily into consideration.

Our presentation will inform the class with information and statistics about migrant workers, and the unbalanced relationship between migrant workers from the Global South and the developed countries. Even though everything in the developed countries are better than their home countries, migrant workers do not receive equal rights as the local workers and are often working without job security, health, safety benefits, and are discriminated because of our society’s misconception that most migrant workers are criminals with no legal status. Therefore, It is important for us to emphasize the mass cases of exploitation and abuse of migrant workers. They should not allow their employers to treat them unfairly or rudely. They should always watch

Cautious there are major concerns of heath problems in the community of migrants worker and their family. There has being increase of infectious disease among migrant workers. Several worker have contracted bacterial, fungal and viral infections. There are numerous reason the contract of infectious disease. Another increases risk is urinary track infections because there are no toilet provided in the work establishment. Most women need to wait until they get home to use the restroom causing them to get infections. The third concern if you are having problem breathing go immediately to clinic or hospital because it a serious issued many migrant workers are being exposed to many dangerous chemicals that are entering in through the lungs.

China has been the world’s largest migrant sending country for centuries. Chinese residents, most of which were laborers, migrated to countries such as the United States, Europe, and Southeast Asia in search of opportunities that would grant them jobs and new lives. But in the last 30 to 40 years, the situation has seemed to have changed. Highly educated Chinese emigrants now seek employment in the globalized world, acting as wealthy investors in the global market. Meanwhile, China has been popularly characterized as “the world’s factory” and one the most substantial economies in the world, now attracting large numbers of international immigrants from a variety of countries in search of opportunities very similar to those Chinese immigrants had so many years ago, making China a common destination for transnational migrants rather than a place they originated from. However, while China has become a prosperous society with opportunities, a fast-growing economy, and a place for foreigners, the influx of immigrants coming into the country has put a damper on China’s migration policy. International immigrants have come to comprise a fourth section of China’s population, thus reshaping a demographic structure that was divided into three sections: rural farmers, urban residents, and the floating population (internal immigrants). Moreover, the increasing numbers of the international population are a great challenge for the current Chinese immigration policies and laws.

From 1970 to the year 2000, the world's over-60 population is projected to increase by more than 90 percent" . This is an astonishing number, seeming how the total population was predicted to grow by less than 75 percent . "The most prominent feature of the looming shift in the composition of the working-age population is, of course, its increasing age" . It is hard to say what will happen when suddenly there will be an abundance of older people who are preparing to retire.

The world’s population is ageing rapidly. Between 2000 and 2050, the proportion of the world's older adults is estimated to double from about 11% to 22%. In absolute terms, this is an expected increase from 605 million to 2 billion people over the age of 60.
