Human Migration Issues and Their Economic-Political Impacts
Abstract
Researchers study economics to determine those trends that make people better off to ascertain why a certain negative phenomenon is occurring. The movement of people, whether for better jobs in a new location, or to flee war or environmental catastrophe, has a significant impact on economies throughout the world. The author studies models of migration in order to apply those models to various reasons for migration, specifically, free will migration, refugees, and displaced persons. He examines the positive and negative issues concerning all forms of migration and the impact that each form of migration has upon economic and security conditions. In addition, he examines certain environmental issues that force people to migrate. (10 refs.)
