I had mentioned that immigration is the one of the most important factors of globalization in the previous entry. Nowadays, immigration is a world wide phenomenon, and the question is: why do people move?
Based on the data, there are about 175 million international immigrants and refugees; and a large-scale internal migration taking place within many countries-- over 100million rural to urban migrants in China.
The main concepts of people moving are:
Immigration occurs because: geographic differences in demands and supply of
labor – wage differentiations.
Immigrants came because: microeconomic model of decision making: purely
cost and benefit calculations; go to wherever the net returns will be the greatest.
