Q

explain how changes in emigration/igration policy has made global migration more complex

2 with example for each

A
  • This effects the “social profile” or type of migrants ( skill level, age, gender etc) of migranst.
    1. For example, countries such as Canada have stringent 1200 points based systems thats ranks migranst and determines who is let in. In 2015 this sytem was updated to allow for possive discrimination for highly skilled worker whom Canada had a shortage for in the Labour market. Thsi included, IT specialsit, Healthcare workers and engeineers as well as young people.
  • effective in increseing the numbre of migranst abroard
    2. Pakistan’s emigration policy aims to encurrage and protect pankistani migrnats abroard. It has been sucessful with mgrant remmitances to pakistan being worth 11.5 billion, the fith biggets in the world.
    3. However, 96% of workers work for the Gulf corparations so this might be more of a factor of an increse of south-south flows due to structual economic change and globalisation - around 7 million
    4. inclusion of homosexuallity to be areason for assilem seeking recently in the UK as ruled by the supream court, so that now over 3% of assilem seekers in the UK are “ refugrees of homosexuality”

Q

How has Globalisation and S-S flows made migration more complex in recent years

2 point, 3 exampels for 1 , 1 example for 2, non for 3

A
  • new source and host desinations emerging and increased S-S and NS flows.
    1. With global structual economic change and Globalisation a mubre of thriving EDCs are emerging across teh globe, and with them a demand for labour (mostly mannual) creating job opertunities. they have emerge predomintly in the south changing the direction of the flow of migration patterns. Rapidly developing EDC require masses of semiskilled manual labour jobs, so migration is encouraged and easier.
    1. For example 96% of pakistani migrants of the 7 million aroard are employed in teh Gulf regein, helpin with mostly constrution jobs, e.g building the staiums for the world cup in Quatar
    2. Now 36% of migrants flows are S-S vs 35% S-N, vs in 2000 29% were S-S and 39% S-N - more linked tp corriodors of bilateral flows
    3. There has been an increse N-S flows. For example the bilateral flow between Brezil and portugal has both 140,000 migrant living in each country, despite Portual being a northern AC with a much smaller polulation
    5. South flows to EDCs are much easier as they are closer and one does not have to face the often riggerous emigration policy reqirmenst of the North west/ ACs + much cheaper and easiert o get to
  • more young male workers effetcing the demographic of migration
    1. for exaple in asia almost 30% of all migrants are men aged 20-39
42
Q

what percentage of migrant flows are S-S vs S-N compared with 2000

A

Now 36% of migrants flows are S-S vs 35% S-N, vs in 2005 29% were S-S and 39% S-N

43
Q

How has a higher proportion of younger and female migrants, made migration more complex in recent years

2 points both with a pice of evidence

A
  • in asia migration is mad dominated with teh average age of migrants being 25-39, this is because migrants are young worker, often taking manual labour positions in EDC’s - young working age men
    1. e.g manual labour workers in teh gulf region 11.5 million from pakistan
  • In europe the majority of migrnat are female, this is becuse most refugees are women and children, furthermore women from AC’s are more likly to have been though higher education and they are able to have babies therefore they are more desirable migrant candidates. lastly +65s are the most common migrants, older = more likly life achivements + need more protection if refugree but its also just teh largest group of people by shire numbre.
    1. 52% of migrants in AC’s are female vs 46% in developing countries
44
Q

what % of migranst are women in AC’s vs developing countries

A
  • AC’s 52%
  • EDCs and LIDCs 46%
