The Impact Of Globalization On Kenya 's Urban Migration

With the advent of globalization and industrialization, urban migration and expansion of cities have become a global trend. South American nations are amongst being most rapid urbanized countries. As more people migrate to urban areas in search of better work opportunities, the cities here are growing in size and number (Ferguson & Navarrete, 2003). This problem is native to not just Latin American countries but is a major concern for most of the developing world. As estimated by the UN (United Nations, 2016), 3 billion people or about 40% of the world population would be living in substandard housing as a result of urban expansions and population growth. This is perceived to be a direct impact of rapid urbanization and excessive strain on

In reading over Bloom’s “Demographic Upheaval”, and relating it back to India as well as places such as Annawadi, and similar slums, there are a few major prognostications made up about these types of areas. The first major demographic factor to talk about in presenting challenges is the rising birth rates in these areas. In this article, it is presented that India by 2022 should pass China to become the most populated nation in the world. There are a couple of major events presented that occur when a nation becomes more populated. For one, nations and areas tend to become more urbanized, as population rates rise. For India, and areas as Annawadi, this would cause further population density, which could be seen as a good thing, in that it may

On the second page some of the smugglers use the migrants to cross the Mediterranean to Europe so that the fees don’t steep to about $5,000 ,many of the migrants are working under harsh conditions . Many migrants crossing the Mediterranean to Europe,many of them have drowned or either went missing. Migrants who are traveling alone or who are small children are more likely to get more of the abuse or the exploitation. People from Saharan Africa are the most vulnerable because of their skin color. Young migrant and refugee children have access to safe and legal migration pathways . The people who come from a specific country or

Auckland affordability problem has been a matter of concern for thousands of Aucklanders. This crisis is well documented by various studies and government agency. Inefficient use of that land and improper management of sprawling development has to be blamed for this high cost of housing. The problem of affordability has been predominant in leading countries like US, Canada, UK, and Australia. This shortfall suffered in Auckland is because of the anti-development attitude. This report studies the extent of Auckland’s affordability crisis, identifies the causes of the crisis and evaluates the plans and policies implemented by the government and the local council. The proposed Auckland unitary plan is also studied and the expected outcomes are discussed. During a situation like this the government policy must focus on growth management and not on growth control. A slim amount of people complain that increase net immigration has led to this hot unbeatable housing prices. It is not healthy for the nation’s growth to control the growth in population by cutting down immigration since there is a large need for skilled immigrants. Studies show that urban intensification is a tool to manage the growth. Intensification has proved to improve the income from unit land.

Migration—the process by which individuals move from one geographic location to another—has been an intriguing topic for demographers for decades. Migration can be internal, that is, within a particular country or territory, or international. Demographers have attempted to understand the motivations and types of individuals who migrate by considering aggregate characteristics of migrant populations and individual-level thoughts and motivations. Knowing who migrates and why provides insight into the potential outcomes of migration, given that migration has huge implications for the sending and receiving communities. Migration not only influences the population size, racial/ethnic and age compositions, but economic systems of sending and receiving communities and nations.

Globalisation and mass migration means that Australia is a diverse and dynamic place. In Australia, many refugee background students experience difficulties adjusting to their new environment and school settings. The increasing diversity in Australian schools present various challenges for not only refugee students and their learning experiences, but for teachers as well. Therefore, the consideration and evaluation of educational research is crucial, so that educational practices and pedagogies are informed by research for the benefit of students’ learning and development. With the increase of refugee background students there has been a need for the implementation and evaluation of strategies and policies in order to establish appropriate ways to engage with the complex issues around refugee background students’ transition to education. This can be seen through the creation of the Refugee Action Support Program (RAS) that was designed to provide tutoring to students from refugee backgrounds in Western Sydney schools. In regards to educational policy, the Multicultural Educational Policy aims to ‘respond to the cultural diversity of New South Wales by committing schools to providing opportunities that enable all students to achieve equitable education and social outcomes’ (“Multicultural Education Policy, 2016). Such programs and policies reinforce that Australia recognises the increasing cultural diversity and needs of refugee background students in Australian schools. In

In recent decades, migrants from Sub-Saharan countries seeking a better life have become stranded in countries bordering Europe, such as Morocco. Following non-governmental organisations’ (NGOs) reports about the deteriorating conditions of migrants and the changes in Morocco’s geo-political context, in 2013, the Moroccan government announced the adoption of a new migration policy. Consequently, according to the government, 23000 migrants of all nationalities were regularised and received a one-year residency permit (OIM, 2015).

Gentrification Is a problem in possibly the oddest geographical problem of our modern day society. Cities throughout history have been known to be poorer and more lower class areas. In order to cope with this life style they had created a rich history and culture unique to the city. This culture then had attracted younger more wealthy people and as this trend continued, minorities and those lower on the socio economic scale had been pushed out to make more room for these richer consumers. Thus leading to our problem, the gentrification of cities. Author, Thomas B. Edsall, takes a deeper look into this problem with his article “The Gentrification Effect”.

Africa is a very large area with about 1.126 Billion people. So it is safe to assume people are constantly moving into, out of, and around the continent for various reasons. Usually, if the ‘first world’ press or social media talk about African migration, it implies that they are fleeing a conflict, famine, or a drought and fleeing towards Europe. The misleading media has helped African countries develop through aid programs led by wealthier countries such as the United States, Australia, and other first world countries. African country’s economies are closely tied to their migration patterns Most of Africa’s migration is intra-continental (within the continent) while a smaller portion is extra-continental (leaves the continent). Migration is very messy and the factors controlling it often overlap and change the overall migration trends when combined. Media and economics are only two of many factors that affect migration trends, Africa’s migration trends demonstrate this perfectly.

Social and cultural elements of opinions towards migrants and relations between locals and foreigners are not always easy. In many countries around the world, migrants and migration are constantly being debated. However, there have been societies like the Nomadic Turks who helped developed civilizations. The modern world needs to learn how to resolve the issues of migration from these nomadic cultures. Between 1000 and 1500 CE, the fast movement of human interaction led to the rapid movements of technology and other advancements that drives our history. Multicultural associations were established and unite the societies of Europe and Asia. The migration of the clans and tribes of the Turkish peoples has fundamental significance as they settled in other societies and learned new cultures. Modern globalization has inspired a rise in migration both near and far, reinforced by many influences. These ancient places are linked our modern successes and problems that have occurred and are occurring today as history tends to repeat itself.

Ethiopia’s urban population has more than doubled in the past 20 years, from 7.3 million in 1994 to an estimated 16.7 million in 2014. The rates of population growth between the census periods of 1984–94 and 1994– 2007 were 4.4 and 3.8 percent, respectively. Over the past 30 years, Ethiopia’s annual urban population growth rate has been higher than the average in Sub-Saharan Africa (which itself is among the fastest urbanizing regions in the world). While Addis Ababa remains the largest urban area, other cities and towns have also grown rapidly (Ethiopia urbanization report, 2013). The average household size is 4.7 persons, which is slightly slower than the average of 4.8 persons per household reported in 2000. Urban households have fewer members than rural households (https://www.unicef.org/ethiopia/ET accessed on 30 November 2017) In urban areas, the average household size is 3.6 persons, compared

They measured informal sector based on migration unemployment and difference in development in the two sectors of the economy. This model further explains that the urban-rural migration phenomenon is due to difference between the urban-rural income expectations. High volume of urban-rural migration is taking place in developing countries and less developed countries, leading to high level of unemployment in urban areas; such areas are study areas for this model. This model states that out migrants move to urban areas expecting higher incomes however their main source of the income is retained in rural areas i.e. agricultural land. But other literature suggests that these migrants settle in urban areas and are employed in the urban sector. The model was extensively followed in the 1960’s, but with the advent of globalisation it became an equally urban phenomenon. The main reason behind this is that globalisation along with technological advancement made it easy for people to engage in the informal sector. Hence people increasingly entered the informal sector in urban areas. Most of them due to low skills and no or little education acquired casual jobs with wages less than the minimum

Due to Egypt urban housing shortage, intensity has grown with more migration of rural residents moving into urban areas.

Gentrification is the process of renovating and revitalizing undervalued and dilapidated residential and commercial areas by the middle or upper class. It is driven by the notion called the “rent gap”. The “rent gap” is the difference between current rent and potential rental income. People will invest in these deteriorated urban areas to obtain potential rent in the future. Consequently, once new money flows in these areas, it forces rent to surge. High rents force low income residents to relocate from the area. This is one of the key characteristics of gentrification, the displacement of local residents. Gentrification is driven by both private investment and government policies.

impeded economic development. Second, he also explains how the slave trade led to greater political instability because of internal warfare and raiding which led to weakened and fragmented states. Nunn 's work is revered as one of extreme importance in this debate and he is often lauded for the paper 's statistical sophistication. However, Nunn 's paper is still subject to critique.
