Oecd Insights International Migration The Human Face Of Globalisation

Examines the reality of international migration today, including where migrants come from and go to, how governments manage migration, how migrants perform in education and the workforce and migration's impact on developing countries.

It's estimated that 200 million people--roughly 3 percent of the world's population--live outside of their home countries. Some have been pushed out by political or ethnic persecution, war, or unemployment; others have been pulled away by the prospects of finding a better job, a good education, or a higher standard of living. What happens to the countries that either lose or gain significant numbers of these migratory people? Nations that receive migrants can find them a valuable source of labor, skills, and new ideas, especially in parts of the world that are experiencing population aging. Despite the potential benefits, there is often widespread resistance to migrants, and governments can face pressure totightly control the flow of newcomers. On the other side of the equation, countries from which people emigrate may receive substantial economic benefits in the form of remittances but can suffer a "brain drain" of some of their brightest and most educated workers. OECD Insights: International Migration examines key issues in the debate, including migration flows; managing migration policies; migration, work, and education; and migration and development. The book features statistical data drawn from OECD's databases, as well as a number of special online features to enhance its potential for use in educational settings.

International Migration About 190 million people around the world live outside their country of station birth, These migrants bring energy, entrepreneurship and fresh ideas to our societies. But there are downsides: young migrants who fail in education, adults who don`t find work and, of course, unregulated migration. Such challenges can make migration a political lightning rod and a topic for angry debate. Drawing on the unique expertise of the OECD, this book moves beyond rhetoric to look at the realities of international migration today: Where do migrants come from and where do they go? How do governments manage migration? How well do migrants perform in education and in the workforce? And does migration help-or hinder - developing countries.

Looking to the year 2030, this volume explores the social, economic and environmental forces which, in OECD countries, may combine to attract migrants of various types and backgrounds, and which, primarily in the developing world, may persuade people to leave or stay at home.

A succinct examination of the concept of sustainable development: what it means; how it is impacted by globalisation, production and consumption; how it can be measured; and what can be done to promote it.
