Migration



Migration is an issue that elicits heated views from all sides of the political and economic spectrum. In the 21st century, we might expect a new wave of mass migration.

There are 5 forces that may cause it:


 * 1) Huge cross-national inequalities in wages and standards of living.
 * 2) Differences in labor demand across countries.
 * 3) Population growth imbalances (aging populations of wealthy countries needing younger workers to support pension systems).
 * 4) The growing interconnectedness of the world.
 * 5) More jobs are becoming location-specific, like nurses and retail salespeople.
