IMMIGRATION

            Immigration is a way to move from one country to another country in order to live and work. Nowadays, many people decide to immigrate to have a better life. This essay will look at some causes and effects of immigration.

            Firstly, employment opportunities are the most common reason that people decide to emigrate. In other countries, there will be variety kind of jobs and as a result, people will have a lot of opportunities to find a job. Moreover, finding a job in other countries will probably lead to having high salary and modern working environment. For example, many people go to Russia and Korea to work as a construction worker and as a consequence, they earn higher salaries than in their home country. All of these things will possibly lead to immigration.

            Another cause of immigration is education opportunities; it will certainly cause directly having better future for children. With a better education, children will have chances to adapt to new style of studying and it might cause children to be a creative, flexible people and they will be able to becoming independence. For instance, studying in a Western university, children can change their study styles, especially they have to adapt with active learning which is spend a lot of time to study by themselves.

            As addition to these causes, immigration has also several effects on countries, immigrants, and both of them.

To initiate, Overpopulation is the most serious effects of immigration. When a lot of migrants move to other country, it will definitely lead to not having enough space to live and work as well. In addition, when the figure of immigrants increases too fast, it will probably result in not providing enough food demanding. China is one of many examples of this factor, when Vietnamese, Cambodian and Laos people move to China to find a job and lived there.

            Secondly, Immigration directly affects the welfare of immigrants themselves. Immigrants come with the expectation that they will gain from immigration. If they had not felt that they would gain, they were free not to immigrate. Economic betterment is only one of many reasons why immigrants come here. Some may come expecting economic loss, but this must be offset by higher perceived gains in other things they value, like political freedom or reunion with their families. These gains are all before the fact. It may turn out that some immigrants are disappointed with life in their new country and some who fail to realize a gain return to their country of origin. Beyond the immigrants themselves, their immigration may have implications for the economic well-being of those who remain in the sending countries. Because immigration reduces labor supply in those countries, the income of other workers rises and the income of other factors of production falls there. But such effects are beyond the scope of the panel's work and are not dealt with in this report.

            In a nutshell, immigration has lots of causes and effect some of which are above. People, sometimes, feel the need of moving to another place. Some need money, some need education, some need a new life and some need all or some of them. However, all these people want a better life which they see in other countries. As a point of view, world should be a place that nobody wants to migrate nowhere; then we can live harmoniously.
