Introduction
The process of migration is an actively occurring phenomenon in the modern world. labor migration has become an integral part of international economic relations. Moving from one region to another, migration flows create certain problems both for the receiving countries and the countries from which these flows leave. However, at the same time, migration provides several benefits to various countries. Such benefits may include an influx of knowledge, differing experiences, new cultures, and other variations in information and backgrounds. At the same time, such diversity can lead to the loss of authenticity of certain places and the departure of high-level specialists from underdeveloped countries. There are many different reasons that induce people to leave their homeland, and they are determined by both economic and non-economic factors.
Main body
Some liberal countries in the Global South are trying to support education abroad, however, on condition that students return after graduation. Additionally, many countries are trying to attract migrants to their territory. Migrants act as a labor force and an influx of specialists in narrowly focused areas (Adamson and Tsourapas 861). Therefore, people begin to migrate within the Global South as a reallocation of the labor force depending on the level, specialization of education and the needs of certain countries.
At the same time, migration within the countries of the Global South implies the transfer of people to countries with a more familiar culture. Because of this, it may not take time and effort for cultural adaptation (Matarrita-Cascante and Stocks 91). In addition, internal migration may not require extra visas and work permits, which can simplify the process. Moreover, it has an advantage for countries if qualified and promising experts and businessmen remain in the Global South.
Economic reasons include differences in the levels of economic development of the countries. People from poor countries tend to leave to more developed ones in search of better opportunities for development or pay level. Additionally, there may be a high unemployment rate in one country, while in another, on the contrary, there may be a lack of workforce (Adamson and Tsourapas 856). The state of the national labor market and the discrepancy between the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of labor resources, as well as the material and technical base of national production is also reflected in labor migration.
The development of the global economy has led to the fact that businessmen and specialists began to immigrate abroad. Many modern studies demonstrate that people move abroad mainly in search of attractive economic prospects and better life conditions (Adamson and Tsourapas 861). While immigrating, past residents of the Global South may face a number of conditions and difficulties from other countries. Such conditions may include the need for investment in a country, place of work, or other conditions of stay and obtaining a residence permit or citizenship. Additionally, cultural adaptation may be required due to the presence in a different culture, setting, ethics, and morals.
Conclusion
In conclusion, migration occurs both within the countries of the Global South and beyond. It can be based on business, economic, or other reasons, including political or social. At the same time, immigrants in most cases are faced with several conditions that allow them to immigrate, such as meeting the conditions of another country, obtaining visas and permits, the need to find a job or any other.
