Migration: a global question

1. The majority situation

   • It is sometimes thought that migration is a problem only for migrants or for the countries that receive it. The fact that millions of people move from one country or continent to another has an influence on their places of origin, the countries migrants go through and where they arrive.

2. Coexistence in the country of destination

   • Then they locate where they will live and specify the work. For all this, very active networks work in the countries of destination. Once installed, newcomers make friends and organize everyday life. That includes communication with the family, through the internet and the telephone.

3. Relationship between nationals and foreigners

   • The level of education, age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, being male or female, one's nationality, religion and other characteristics significantly influence the transfer to another country, whether regular or not, and for living together in the country of destination.

4. Women and migration

   • There is also what has been defined as feminization of work. A large part of women who migrate work in what is called the care economy, which includes care for children, elderly or sick people or who require special care and domestic work
