1321 Words6 Pages

Introduction People all across the world enjoy their right to free movement that is recognized as a fundamental right across national as well as international legal frameworks. In fact, the UDHR, 1948, specifically outlines the same in article 13, which states that “Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state” and “Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country.” The world today is home to a burgeoning number of migrants who have move from their country of origin to their host country, on account of several reasons, including economic, political, social and cultural. The number of migrants has doubled since the International Conference on Population and Development that was held in 1994. International migration is regarded as a phenomenon that has positive impacts on economies in terms of facilitating transfer of knowledge and technology as well as cultural enrichment, thus contributing to the growth and development of economies. However, on the other hand, it is said to have led to loss of human resources for many countries, leading to a constant tensions that arise between countries of origin and destination.

  • Positive And Negative Effects Of The Great Migration

    1057 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Great Migration and/in the Congregation The Great Migration was the migration occurred within the United States between 1910 and 1970 which saw the displacement of about seven million African Americans from the southern states to those in the North, Midwest and West. The reasons that led thousands of African Americans to leave the southern states and move to the northern industrial cities were both economic and social, related to racism, job opportunities in the industrial cities and the search of better lives, the attempts to escape racism and the Jim Crow Laws that took them away the right to vote. As every social phenomena, the Great Migration had both positive and negative effects; in my opinion the Great Migration can be considered a negative development in the short and medium term, but, if we analyze the benefits brought to the African-American communities in the long term, their fight for integration has shaped the history of the United States in its progress to democracy and civil rights.

  • Barriers Of Migration

    Discussion Contrary to popular belief, migrants are not diseased people; however, the actual process of migrating, depending on the conditions encountered, makes migrants particularly susceptible to physical, environmental, social and psychological problems.5 In short, the migration process makes migrants and refugees vulnerable. Infectious and communicable diseases may spread in conditions where health hygiene and sanitation are poor. Likewise, the incidence of non-communicable diseases may be distributed inequitably due to the stresses of migration and the lack of access to the necessary medical services both in the countries of origin and the receiving states. Psychosocial illnesses like anxiety and depression from traumatic experiences, for example war, may lead to migrants having problems with substance abuse.
