|
In today's era of economic globalization, immigration has always been a concern and controversy in the international problems. According to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) recently released a survey report shows that in the past two years, poor countries to rich countries the number of immigrants began to decline, while the previous 30 years has been on the increase. This change will no doubt highlight from one side of the international financial crisis on the serious impact on developed economies.

Developed countries in the past 30 years of economic development and technological advancement are all inextricably linked and immigrant
For a long time, in order to solve the labor shortage and recruit foreign talent, the European Union, the United States, Canada and Australia and other developed countries and regions has become a global migration of several major destination. According to survey data published on the United Nations from 1980 to 2010 30 years, the number of migrants in developed countries has doubled. Increase in the number of immigrants, not only enrich the cultural diversity of developed countries and the social structure, the more they made a significant contribution to economic development. One common phenomenon is that the low level of education of migrants is usually dry locals do not want to dry the coolies live, highly educated immigrants have become "cheap labor." Also proved that the developed countries in the past 30 years of economic development and technological advancement and so on and immigration are inextricably linked. For example, the British won the Nobel Prize in Physics this year, two scientists are immigrants from Russia. In turn, economic growth remained long-term stability for the developed countries create the conditions for immigrant absorption.
Number plummeted
Many immigrants are engaged in construction and manufacturing as being the hardest hit by financial crisis
However, since 2008 the global spread of international financial crisis devastated the economy of developed countries, plunged into the worst recession since World War II. Beginning last year, although the developed economies have started to recover, but the shambling, very unstable, especially the problem of unemployment is still very serious. In such a depressed economic environment, the number of migrants to move to developed countries began to decrease.
According to reports, the total number of global migration in 2009 fell by 6%, but the decline in different countries. Sudden drop in the number of immigrants in Spain 2 / 3, once by the Irish immigrants "net importer" into the immigration "net exporter" ... ... not only reduce the number of migrants living conditions are deteriorating, the first young immigrants. Spain's unemployment rate of young immigrants as high as 41%, Sweden, EU-15 countries, Canada, the United States were 37%, 24%, 20% and 15%. Immigration, a significant number of people have a language barrier, many people with low education levels, only in the construction and manufacturing, which suffered two major industry is the hardest hit financial crisis. Therefore, the developed countries, the unemployment rate of immigrants is much higher than the locals. In addition, due to debt in many developed countries had to raise taxes by means of support to tight public finances, resulting in the already very serious problem of unemployment worse. The drastic cuts in social welfare, the impact of foreign immigrants living is self-evident. In addition, some immigrants living in poverty has also led to the health and psychological problems, immigration increased divorce rate and crime rate to the host country is also a potential factor of instability.
Continuing controversy
While developed countries insist on immigration, said lip is still the policy of freedom, but in fact the introduction of a variety of restrictive measures
Of course, the international financial crisis is not only against immigrants, but also bring disaster to the locals. According to reports, Greece and Ireland in the country because young people find useless, had to go to other countries looking for work and development opportunities. However, increased immigration has increasingly become concerns of the people in these countries, and even suggested that immigrants take away their jobs, adding to the social burden. Therefore, the immigration issue has become controversial in Western society a major problem. Under the pressure of the outside world, developed countries, said although the Government still insist on verbal free immigration policy, but actually have introduced a variety of restrictive immigration measures, such as lower limits, raise the entry threshold, increased border patrol check, or even forced repatriation illegal immigrants, caused a strong shock in the international French expulsion of Roma, the event is one example.
However, there are people and people of insight to oppose immigration restrictions. Against the British Government to restrict immigration measures, eight heavyweight scientists recently jointly to the "Times" wrote, criticizing the Government the number of foreign skilled workers visa restrictions impede the development of national science and technology. The letter said that research in the UK, 40% involved international cooperation, international cooperation is precisely because of, the United Kingdom in order to account for only 1% of the population of the world have created nearly 10% of global research.
It seems that in general the current fragile economic recovery in the West case, the controversy surrounding the immigration issue also will continue. Some experts believe that with the rapid development of emerging economies, they will become the new destination of migrants. |
