Research Proposal – Global Politics and Migration Research Question: How does marriage migration impact the ability of individuals, particularly women, to integrate into society and to participate in the labour market? What are the implications of this type of migration on integration policies? Migration within countries or across borders due to marriage is a trend that has become more common as a result of globalization and increased mobility and is, therefore, becoming increasingly important for
perceived as a problem or crisis of border policing strategies, migration policies and state sovereignty. Policy oriented scholars consider illegality as a failure of border control policies. However critical border theorists such as de Genova (2002; 2004) draw attention to the organic
household chores; the care of elderly, adults and youth; the socialisation of children and the maintenance of social ties in the family (Parrenas, 2000). These activities are generally relegated to women, until recently. Class-privileged women free themselves of the mental, emotional and manual labour needed for the cultural and social upbringing of children, by hiring low-paid women generally of colour (Parrenas, 2000). The international transfer of caretaking is a social, political and economic
Population migration has a long standing history in the South Pacific region. The main reason driving the emigration of the islanders is the demographic, economic, social and environmental situation and the non-development of certain Islands (handset 1994, Allenbach 2013). The reasons for these migratory phenomena vary from one island to the other. Socio-economic motivations are more of an issue with independent islands. Poor living standard, lack of economic development and environmental constraints
Thomas Malthus famously argued that population growth, if not controlled, would outgrow resources, resulting in many social catastrophes. Malthus warned that it was mathematically inevitable, but is this the case for Australia? Population defines the number of people a country houses. This number is determined by the birth rate and death rate of a country as well as and country’s migration rate and fertility rate. Australia is a highly progressive developed country, but how applicable is it to Malthus’s
globalization process. Although this process has resulted in global economic development, globalization has affected more than just economics. It has also social dimensions (Gunter & Van der Hoeven, 2004). Because of influences on several areas it is essential to distinguish between the benefits and the drawbacks of globalization. In debates on globalization, migration is a topic that
between patients and health care providers (Smedley, Stith, & Nelson, 2002). Essentially, wellbeing is an individual’s disposition of feeling good and functioning well, which also comprise his/her life experiences. This is also related to how the individual compares his/her life conditions with existing social norms and values (Keyes, 1998). However, the concept of social wellbeing is only fully understood when various factors are interwoven in a complex mix of social, political, psychological, environmental
move out of their present location whereas a pull factor induces persons to move into a new location.” When these factors are taken into consideration we are able to dwell specifically on the reasons persons choose to make this lifetime decision. Migration studies would examine patterns migrants would take in an effort to understand which of these factors stimulated their movement. Countries would experience both benefits and costs as a result of immigration as citizens would require or contribute
Social Issues Resulting from Emigration Although there has been much incentive for migration to the Gulf region, there has been an issue regarding the women who stay back taking care of the families. Emigrants from Pakistan were almost exclusively all male and unlike other governments, the Pakistani government discouraged women from migrating out of the country (Siegmann, 2010). This resulted in women taking charge of the financial decisions and family affairs without the input of men. Men leaving
The national populations of developed economies have become fully urbanized, rural-to-urban migration has slowed down, fertility rates in many of these countries are falling, and the populations of some are even declining. The steadying effect of internal migration on the growth of most cities is now missing in many developed countries. In addition, governments are trying to limit international migration flows. Urban systems in the developed world have stopped expanding. Developed countries have
