Furthermore, around 25 million people around the world living in a different country than the one they are a citizen of have been found to send back money to their families. Indeed, remittances, which is the pay that workers often send from a high income country to a lower income country, is, in competition with international financial aid, one of the largest contributors to monetary inflow in low income countries. In Tajikistan, for example, remittances represent 35% of the total GDP, and in 2015, the World Bank estimated that remittances reached $440 billion in developing countries.
GLOBALIZATION HAS MADE US MORE CULTURALLY DIVERSE
It would be an understatement to simply say that globalization has increased global communication, because it essentially has created what experts call a ‘global village’: a community of people from different nationalities, speaking different languages, with different cultural and heritage backgrounds, that has enabled us to become more tolerant and open to different peoples.
