Global Migration

ISBN: 978-0-415-68387-6
Define migrant remittances. How can remittances help explain the role of small financial transfers in the world economy as well as the significance of migrant labor on the sending society and the economy? What about on the receiving society and its economy? On the sustenance of a global economy?
Stake a position in this debate. Do you believe the sending of money home by migrants spurs global development? Or do remittances have minimal impact on both host and origin society? Does immigration cause “brain gain” and development in the receiving society, or “brain drain” and underdevelopment in countries of origin?
Support your response using evidence in the featured video, outside readings, and Chapters 3 and 4 of the textbook.
