International Migration
Increasing flows of people across national borders are both a contributor to and a consequence of a more interconnected world.About 180 million people worldwide already live their country of birth,and pressure for international migration will continue,driven by differences in demographics are real incomes between countries.Research shows that although the largest economic gains from immigration accrue to the immigrants themselves,the international migration of labor can also benefit both the countries receiving immigrants and the countries sending them,and that on balance it boosts world income and reduces poverty.In the receiving countries,they can fill labor shortages in certain industries.In the sending countries,they can help ease unemployment and other social pressures while increasing financial inflows,in the from of remittance from migrants to their families back home.Remittances also help level out the distribution of income both within and across countries.
