reshaping the dynamics of the workforce and the movement of
people across borders.

Contributions to a Whole
1 Increased Migration
Globalization has resulted in increased migration, as more people move within countries
and across borders in search of better employment opportunities and lifestyles. This
migration is a significant aspect of globalization, contributing to sustainable development. It
has led to a diversification of origins and destinations of migrants, a phenomenon referred
to as "super-diversity

2 Growth of International Labor Migration

The steady growth of international labor migration is an underappreciated aspect of
globalization. In 1970, about 2.1% of the global population lived outside their country of
birth. By 1990, that number had nearly doubled to more than 150 million people, or about
2.8% of the global population.

3 Key Role in Global Economy

Migrant workers play a key role in the global economy. They often take on jobs that are vital
to the functioning of economies in their host countries. The COVID-19 pandemic has
highlighted their importance as well as the risks they are often forced to take to find work.

4 Integration of Global Markets

Globalization trends have been characterized by the greater integration of global markets
for goods, services, and capital across borders. The impact of these trends on cross-border
movement and labor migration has been profound.
Creative Imagination and Wholeness
Vision for Global Workforce

In the context of labor, the creative imagination allows businesses and organizations
to envision a global workforce. It enables them to see beyond geographical borders
and cultural differences, and to appreciate the unique skills and perspectives that
workers from different parts of the world can bring.

Innovative Solutions for Migration Issues

Migration presents a host of challenges, from legal and logistical issues to cultural
integration. The creative imagination helps policymakers and organizations to come
up with innovative solutions to these challenges. It enables them to see connections
between seemingly unrelated issues and to devise comprehensive strategies that
address multiple aspects of migration.

Empathy Towards Migrant Workers

Imagination plays a crucial role in fostering empathy towards migrant workers. It

allows us to put ourselves in their shoes, to understand their struggles and
aspirations, and to create policies and practices that respect their rights and dignity.

Resilience in the Face of Change

The processes of globalization, labor, and migration are constantly evolving, and they
often present unforeseen challenges. The creative imagination enables individuals,
communities, and nations to adapt to these changes, to find new ways of working
together, and to turn challenges into opportunities.
