Migration reasons

Timofeeva A.A. 2020 c

Timofeeva A.A. 2020 c
growing global disparities in development, democracy, and demography;
job shortages that will be exacerbated by the current economic downturn;
the segmentation of labour markets in high-income economies => a situation that attracts migrant workers to so-called “3D” jobs (dirty, difficult, or dangerous);
revolutions in communications and transportation…; migration networks…etc…

Migrant workers
roughly 164 million migrant workers around the world in 2017, accounting for nearly two thirds (64%) of the (then) 258 million global stock of international migrants.
regarded as 15 years of age or older (234 million) – migrant workers account for 70 per cent.

International remittances
Remittances are financial or in-kind transfers made by migrants directly to families or communities in their countries of origin.
available data reflect an overall increase in remittances in recent decades, from USD 126 billion in 2000, to USD 689 billion in 2018

Timofeeva A.A. 2020 c
When remittances are viewed as a percentage of gross domestic product, however, the top five remittance-receiving countries in 2018 were Tonga (at 35.2%), followed by Kyrgyzstan (33.6%), Tajikistan (31%), Haiti (30.7%) and Nepal (28%).
