question 39

Essay

A distinguishing feature of contemporary globalization is the high rate of global migration, both between and within nations. Scholars have analyzed how this unprecedented movement is closely linked to uneven development in the global economy. Discuss how uneven development and development policies may influence individual decisions to migrate. Draw on examples from the chapter or your own experience to discuss the diverse range of motivations, destinations, and contexts that shape internal and external migration. How can we understand global migrations in terms of "pushes" and "pulls"?
