| Popis: |
The mobility of people is increasing in quantity and in quality - not only spanning the limits of nation-states but also shifting the boundaries of belonging of social and cultural groups. Hundreds of millions are leaving the regions or countries where they were born to seek political liberties and security or better opportunities for work and education. Highly qualified workers and expatriates extend their range of job opportunities by commuting or circular migration. Retirees from wealthy countries and retired labour migrants create new patterns of pendular migration between different countries. Far greater still are the movements of people fleeing humanitarian crises or persecution on the grounds of political, ethnic or sexual orientations and of those seeking to sell their labour in the cities and factories of foreign countries or in their own, as in China. |
