Introduction

The increase in migration is the most visible and significant aspect of social globalisation; people are constantly moving within countries and across borders looking for better lifestyles and employment opportunities. Migration of people impacts economies, societies and cultures, generating significant benefits for both migrants’ countries of origin and the host country.

Stimulus A shows the movement of people from less developed countries to seek employment opportunities. The number of Africans, Hispanics, Indians, and Pakistan’s moving to developed countries to pursue job opportunities continue to rise. Developed countries provide various employment opportunities for skilled and unskilled migrants (Migali et al., 2018). Additionally, stimulus A shows the effect of migrants on receiving countries. Migrants enhance the diversity of the hosting developing countries (Sagynbekova, 2016. For instance, both skilled and unskilled migrants improve diversity in their workplaces, making these countries richer and more productive in the long run.

Secondly, stimulus B shows the impact of migrants on sending countries. Migrants send a lot of money back to their home countries. Remittances are the most significant and tangible benefit of international migration. According to Migration Data Portal, the total global migrant’s remittance was USD 508 billion in 2020. This means better living standards for the household back home and economic developments to these sending countries.

Stimulus A and B show the reasons and the impact of migration to sending and receiving countries. Migration occurs due to the push factors of less economic opportunities in sending countries and the pull factors of opportunities in developed countries. The desire for better socio-economic activities such as employment opportunities and education by migrants and the availability of these opportunities in developing countries is the primary cause of migration (Migali Et al., 2018). Additionally, stimulus A and B highlights the impact of migration to the sending and receiving countries. Receiving countries benefit from the diversity migrants bring, especially at workplaces. Similarly, receiving countries benefits from migrants’ remittances. Migrants send a lot of money back home that improves the kins’ economic status back home and the receiving countries in general.

Conclusion

Although most people and countries across the globe view migration as problematic, it provides opportunities and benefits to the hosting country, country of origin, and the migrants themselves. The world is in the century of human mobility. Therefore, nations and individuals should rise above self-interest and act together.
