DOES MIGRATION IMPROVE THE
QUALITY OF LIFE?

1. Learning a new culture and experiencing new
opportunities.
2. Getting to know a different approach to
communication.
3. Immersing yourself in new cultural activities.
BENEFITS AND DETRIMENTS OF THE
SENDING COUNTRIES
BENEFITS:
1. Payment of Remittances -These significant financial transfers from the
wealthy developed country to the less developed but still developing country
are frequently seen as essential to the latter's economic progress.
2. Workers' Skills -The sending countries benefit from this temporary migration
since the returning workers are more skilled and experienced. Because of the
abilities they have acquired abroad, they can strengthen their domestic economies.
2. Loss of highly trained workers - For example, in the Philippines, Nurses are
going abroad because they want to have higher salary.
3. Children left behind -Many parents are going abroad in order to give their
children a better life. But children who are left behind are having a lack of
parental guidance and support.
THE PROBLEM OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING
On top of the issue of brain drain, sending states must likewise protect migrant
workers. The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation lists human
trafficking as the third largest criminal activity worldwide. In 2012, the
International Labour Organization (ILO) identified 21 million men, women, and
children as victims of "forced labor," an appalling three out every 1,000 persons
worldwide. Ninety percent of the victims (18.7) million) are exploited by private
enterprises and entrepreneurs; 22 percent (4.5 million) are sexually abused;
and 68 percent (14.2 million) work under compulsion in agricultural,
manufacturing, infrastructure, and domestic activities.
CAUSES OF HUMAN TRAFICKING
Unemployment
Poverty
Absence of a social safety
Political instability
Status of violence against women and children
The low risk, high profit
INTEGRATION
It is an act of the immigrants to ressemble the culture of the
native-borns of the country they have migrated in. (Waters, M.C.)
Immigrants may contribute significantly to a host nation's GDP, but
their access to housing, healthcare and education is not easy.
