Migration

The globalization of the world economy has increased pressures and possibilities for people to immigrate to new countries and contribute to them economically, culturally, socially, and politically. Violent conflict, economic collapse, natural disaster, and political repression can spark irregular migration flows, forcing often dangerous journeys for migrants while also raising concerns in receiving host countries about potential economic and security consequences.
