Advantages of migration.pptx
1. Job vacancies can be filled
Migration can have a number of
benefits for the host country. It
has the potential to fill job
vacancies and develop skills gaps
within the workforce, improve
business productivity, and boost
national productivity
2. The economic benefits of migration to the host
country of low-skilled labourers often outweighs the
risks and cost to the host. In some cases, it can even
be said that immigrants are a vital part of the cultural
fabric of many countries.
3. When an economy begins to stagnate, fewer young people
move into the area. This has a significant detrimental impact on
services like healthcare and education that rely on a stable
population. One solution is for migrants to migrate from their
country of origin to the host country. As they are younger, they
bring with them new ideas and skills that can help invigorate
the economy.
4. Researchers who have studied immigrants in the United
States say that their presence has resulted in a positive
impact on society. They contribute to economic growth
and make up for some of the skills that the native-born
population lacks. Immigrants are also thought to be
bringing new ideas and innovations, which is important
since so many of today’s jobs require specialised
knowledge. Many companies instead of hiring American
workers would prefer to hire foreign-born individuals
because they can be hired more quickly and offer more
value than their local counterparts
5. Migrants act as agents of social change. The new ideas
related to new technologies, family planning, etc. get
diffused from urban to rural areas through them.
Migration leads to intermixing of people from diverse
cultures. It has positive contribution such as the
evolution of composite culture
6. Migration boosts the working-age population.
Migrants arrive with skills and contribute to human
capital development of receiving countries. Migrants
also contribute to technological progress.
Understanding these impacts is important if our
societies are to usefully debate the role of migration.
7. Unregulated migration to the metropolitan cities of India has
caused overcrowding. The development of slums in industrially
developed states such as Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka,
Tamil Nadu and Delhi is a negative consequence of
unregulated migration within the country.
Rural-urban migration is one of the important factors
contributing to the population growth of cities. Age and skill
selective out-migration from the rural area have an adverse
effect on the rural demographic structure. H
High out-migration from Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Madhya
Pradesh and Eastern Maharashtra have brought serious
imbalances in age and sex composition in these states.
8. Overcrowding of people due to rural-urban migration has put
pressure on the existing social and physical infrastructure in the
urban areas.
Due to over-exploitation of natural resources, cities are facing
the acute problem of depletion of ground water, air pollution,
disposal of sewage and management of solid wastes.
Migration is moving from one place to another in search of food,
pasture, education, habitat, and employment. Many people in
Kenya migrate. Others migrated to urban areas while others
migrated to rural areas. Reason for this, is to look for
employment, better education, and better place to live.
9. In Kenya, some people come from other countries
(immigrants) such as Tanzania, Ethiopia, Uganda, and
other parts. They come for tourism, to learn our
cultures, interact with Kenyans and also Kenyans
would learn from them.
Conflicts and clashes make many people migrate from
their homes to save their lives. When people migrate,
the population of the country will decrease. When
clashes occur, many people will lose their lives too.
10. For me, migration is not good because when you migrate to another country,
you might be discriminated, hated, or oppressed or even killed. When you
migrate with your livestock to search for food and pasture, you might be killed
and the livestocks might be stolen.
Migration has advantages and disadvantages. Some of advantages include:
getting better places, interacting with people and learning their way of live.
Disadvantages include: being killed, livestock stolen or conflicts.
When someone migrates, he/she will start everything new such as looking for
shelter and it will take long time to interact with people of a certain community.
In some countries, some people might be merciful and they will help each other
while others will discriminate the migrants and oppress them by giving them a
lot of work to do without giving them enough food. Later the immigrants will
became sick and might pass away.
Surely, migration should be avoided and security provided to keep people safe
and enjoy life.
