Why has international migration become an issue of such intense concern? How closely linked are migrants with terrorist organisations? This Very Short Introduction looks at international migration, both legal and illegal, to reveal that it actually presents opportunities that must be taken advantage of in the current economic climate. The author debunks myths such as the claim that migrants take jobs away from local workers, and reveals that society cannot function without them. Not only do migrants fill a key gap in the domestic labour market, they also have a significant impact on the economies of their home countries; the remittances they send home often exceed official development aid. Using interviews with migrants, the author presents the human side of topics such as refugees, human trafficking and the international labour force.Product Identifiers
