IMPACT OFMIGRATION

“Migration is the introduction of new people into a population ” of animals, plants or humans. Nowadays, it is an actually topic, because it is several social and economic problem for many countries around the world. It has two different categories: the economic migration and the forced migration . The first one “refers to someone who has emigrated from one nation to another, for the purposes of seeking employment or improved economic situation. ” The second one “refers to someone who is forced to emigrate from one nation to another, from violence, coercion and compelling political reasons, or other forms of duress; rather then from a voluntary action. ”

In the first cause, economic immigrant migrated for labors, family reunification or marriage . Those people looking for better economic opportunities abroad in the new country. For many experts, this group has the potential role for to reducer poverty, especially Absolute Poverty, in the original home countries. It is because the significant impact that financial remittances and others benefits, that it can have on their countries of origin .

In the second cause, forced immigrant encompass the more poignant vulnerabilities associated with international movements, especially where it involves women and children . Despite perceptions to the contrary, the percentage of it is smaller that other kind of immigrants; they are called “Refugees and Asylum-seekers.” The refugees migrants are the most vulnerable, marginalized and best-know group within forced migration. On the other hand, the reasons for Asylum-seekers migration are “war, violence, and chaos, in own countries. ” Asylum-seekers are unable or unwilling to return to their home because they cannot have effective protection in their.

In 2009, there were 20 million refugees around the world, mainly in Africa. Ten million under the responsibility of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and this category of immigrant make up 7% every year. Unlike economic migrant, who tend to gravitate toward developed regions, on estimated 90 percent of all refugees currently live in developing countries . Most part of those people is from poor countries, and they need too many support assistant for basic necessities like food, housing, clothing, health service and education.

For those reasons, the condition for forced immigrants is really hard, these are far worse than economic migrant. They are living, most of them, in absolute poverty, particularly the refugees from African countries. Economic opportunities and other benefits are not for their people; a major issue is that the poorest people and countries profit the least from remittances . For example, Sub-Saharan Africa region received only 2% of all remittance flow in 2005 . That people from this poorest region, have the most difficulty migrating, earning and remitting funds from abroad. In conclusion, the
forced migrants are the most vulnerable immigrant in the world.
