The Adoption of Migration and Development Theories

Immigrants leave their country everyday without any idea of when they will resume residing in their home country. A lot of people migrate each year to improve their standards of living without considering the challenges they might encounter in their host countries. The problems faced by immigrants are difficulty finding the suitable jobs, racial discriminations from citizens and difficulty learning the country’s language.

Globally, there are estimated 191 million immigrants with 60 percent living in the developed nations. European countries accommodate about 33 percent, the U.S. accommodates 20 percent and the rest of the 60 percent are scattered in different developed nations. Immigrants usually leave their country of origin in search of security and better-quality life. However, these people live in constant fear, exploitation, harassment, and even abuse. Without proper documentation and advocacy, immigrants continue to suffer in shadows of the natives. The suffering of the immigrants is not something contemporary. In the 1870s, a wave of Germans moved to the United States looking for greener pastures only to be exploited

Upon arrival in the United States, immigrants face many obstacles. While also facing the obstacle of being uneducated in a foreign land, immigrants are constant subjects of the corrupt actions of predatory people, and constant subjects of discrimination, ultimately preventing them from achieving their goal of success within a new country. To solve these issues, immigrants are forced to learn a new language and culture while accepting the fate of their living conditions and working harder to prove themselves in their new nation.

Yearly, a large number of people around the globe choose to immigrate to other countries, and this rate is expected to increase in near future.

Migration has been process for the whole history of human being. People roamed to seek for available livestock, new land for settlement and place for hunting and fishery. And these process has been processed until today around the world, despite for more reasons and subjects.

This project argues that due to certain circumstances affecting the security of the UK, the implementation of the immigration act in recent years has caused many immigrants to leave the country or face difficulties residing in the UK.

In recent times, migration has been a major point of discussion at different international fora. According to the United Nations (UN), more than 175 million people, about three percent of world’s population, live and work permanently outside their countries of birth (UN, 2002).

In this respect, it is worthy of mention that such a situation with the migration is the result of the recent trend in the world economy which is characterized by processes which are generally called globalization. The process of globalization is overwhelming and involves practically all countries of the world with rare exceptions which

Today immigration is one of the issues central to international affairs/economies of states. Currently many people are inhabited out side their home/birth country. According to UNHCR statistics, more than 100 million people are internally displaced/ living in refugee camps and/or are stateless (UNHCR statistics,2016). In

From this statistics 33% of all immigrants live in Europe 144,250,000 migrants actually reside across 28 countries. Women and children represent slightly over half of all migrants the figure is around 95 million. Between 1990 and 2005 there were over 36 million migrations across the globe with an average of approximately 2.4 million yearly. (28)(38) the most current available data puts the U.S. immigrant population at more than 42.4 million,

Immigration is moving to another foreign country permanently. Data for immigration was first started in the 1850’s. 10 percent of the population of the United States was immigration, according to the census it was about 2.2 million immigrants. Many immigrants choose or want to move to another country because of the freedom or to better themselves and their families.

Although Immigration is a complex topic with many different factors, the most common reason for immigration is poverty and the hopes of building a new future elsewhere. In the past migration was largely caused by the fore-mentioned issue of poverty, social strife, war, or other political conflicts. As of today these things are still issues and in some cases political asylum does play part in immigration decisions. Globalization is defined as the tendency for business, technologies, or philosophies to spread throughout the world. Globalization is also a major factor in the decisions made before immigration, often times families and friends will eventually re-unite in one region in order to remain together. Living in a more technical world with an advanced society has brought us to the point we are at today, a nearly global community with more in common than in any century before. With the beginning of modern technology in the 1900’s came a more closely knit world, with more communication than what was seen in the past.

In the Second Edition of Servants of Globalization: Migration and Domestic Work, Rhacel Parreñas examines all of the challenging aspects of the lives of migrant Filipino domestic workers. Throughout the interviews that are included in this novel, the author was able to analyze different cases filled with personal struggle and familial support using the perspectives of many determined women across the diaspora, mainly focusing on those to travel to work in Western Countries. In this paper, I will briefly summarize the first three chapters, bringing to light the most important aspects the Parreñas included. I will then discuss the methodology used in her convincing global ethnography, before I include both the advantages and disadvantages to

Before it used to be from suburb into the town center, but nowadays the movement between border or continents overtook that. Unfortunately, most of the time the urban policy maker seems to overlook that fact and never include immigrant population into their consideration when they are proposing a plan. We found that migration could create massive impact on the development of local neighborhood, the impact of low-skilled immigrant, the relation of highly skilled immigrant and the stimulation of creativity and entrepreneurship of the city. Not to mention the pressure on housing market, transportation network, the access to public services, socio-cultural environment. Wherewith, a lot of academic researchers believe that the diversity promotion in local community could decide the outcome of immigrant integration

Fun fact:There is also different types of migration. “Economic migration” is when people are migrating to a country that has a higher percent rate of getting a job. “Social migration” is when you are migrating to start a new life or to live closer to your family. “Political migration” is when people are moving to escape corrupted government or civil war. “Environmental migration” is when natural disasters destroy homes and people try to start a new life in a new country.
