Migration: a global question

Migration: a global question

1. THE MAJORITY SITUATION

   • An even greater problem is the flow of refugees that has increased worldwide. The circumstances in which migrations occur are diverse. It is difficult, therefore, to establish what people who have migrated in their destination countries do.

2. COEXISTENCE IN THE COUNTRY OF DESTINATION

   • Usually, before traveling, people who migrate already think where they will arrive and have contacts to look for work. Then they locate where they will live and specify the work. For all this, very active networks work in the countries of destination.

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.

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.

5. THE TRANSNATIONAL FAMILIES

   • The transnational family is the result of international migration. Its members are in more than one country. For example, a family whose mother is in the US, the father and part of sons and daughters are still in Ecuador and another of the sons is in Italy.
