Immigration
The number of migrants in the world has more than doubled in one generation and
today the number of people who have settled down in a country other than their own is
estimated at 190 million worldwide. This represents 3 percent of the world population, and
is comparable to the population of Brazil. Nearly all countries are affected by international
migration, whether as sending, transit, or receiving countries, or as a combination of all
three.
International migration has become an intrinsic feature of globalization. As the world
globalizes in terms of nations’ economies, trade and investment, borders are opened up
more easily for “freer” flow of goods and products. People are also free to move around
the world.
People emigrate from one country to another for a variety of complex reasons. Many
migrants have economic reasons to move. Many are in search of better socio-economic
perspectives and seek to work abroad. Some work legally while others have no work
permit and are employed in the shadow economy. Other migrants move because
of political conditions or political persecution. They escape war, civil strife, ethnic
conflict, violations of human rights or other circumstances. Some are recognized as
refugees straight away, often in neighboring countries. Others become asylum-seekers.
Asylum-seekers and refugees are not always entitled to work, but many work illegally.
