Home countries & host countries: home countries = ppl leave to elsewhere. Poor countries, left to go to wealthy countries eg. People took unskilled jobs in host countries that ppl in host countries didn"t want. Largely difficulty to choose stay or leave: host countries = countries that receive immigrants. Anxious, will get too much immigration eg. Big article on how much philippine"s economy depends on the money sent home by women working abroad as nurses, domestics, social works. 5 ways that migration is new: migration is global.
