Document Summary
Migration: the movement of people from one place to another. Globalization can only take place in part due to the movement of people. And people can only move like they do today because of globalization due to increasing innovation in technology- a recursive relationship. Increasing spatial extent- due to better transportation people move to different places- new demand for labor that is attracting people. Key areas for settlement- us, canada, australia, some european counties. Migration is diversifying- economies are developing and new categories of migration are developing (different streams) Migration is becoming transnational today (people have multiple homes and connect with many different places)- people identify with different places and hold on to their culture. Job opportunities, economic growth, good healthcare, education system, social networking, safety. Attraction to a city: established ethnic communities, local labor market. Phases of canadian immigration will often reflect the economic status of the country.
