migration turns out to be a curious phenomenon because in the history of mankind has been a constant. I am part of the millions of people migrating around the world and sometimes I try to understand why. I am not alone, there are many theories that try to explain something as complex or at least shed some light on the road. To explain this phenomenon as an example I'll put a friend of mine named Jesus, a regular guy, quiet and with feet on the ground. This good friend is the classic type worker who seeks to be where the best hot sun.
To address the issue, let's start with the neoclassical theory of migration, that Jesus is likely to migrate according to changes supply and demand in labor markets, ie, looking for daily bread. If I had a good job and stable income in the country probably would not have to emigrate. But if Jesus were to migrate calculate the cost-benefit before making your adventures, but also think of moving materials costs and maintenance while finding work. It is interesting to see from that perspective, but is that Jesus is a farmer and is married to a girl named Magdalena, also has three children: Hezbollah, Obama and Google. Ie can not just decide to go and leave such a beautiful family forgotten, Jesus is not the case.
So, to this economic theory on migration says that Jesus would go as part of a family plan to finance new technology in agricultural production on their farm. Our friend has no insurance, agriculture, moreover, does not even know what it is. His idea is to earn income to support his family even if the crops are lost and face the risks caused by fluctuations in the prices of their products on the market. In this way, Jesus would go abroad to send remittances as a fundamental part of the family economy and their loved ones can buy things they need. Google has long seen as their schoolmates have personal computer (laptop) and that Jesus wants to give pleasure to your beloved son ... but do not know what it is for that device. That is, probably if the consumer power of Jesus and his family were middle income, he would have to go through the pain away from them to give them the life they want.
But that's not all. Jesus The country recently signed free trade agreements industrialized production processes, and even if our friend could get the technology to improve cultivation of their products could not compete with large firms in developed countries. That predicament for this poor man! In this case, the dual labor market theory argue that it is standard in the capitalist world, including part of a modern industrialized societies to attract labor. Accordingly, the capitalists prefer to hire an immigrant like Jesus to accept low pay, before increasing the wages of natives in the entire hierarchical structure.
addition, there are certain jobs The natives just do not want to make about the implications for their status and prestige, and that is where our friend is going to stop. That is, while the natives want to be used as capital intensive, Jesus will be used intensively as cheap labor. But Jesus would not mind, because its prestige this is your country, your family and in the smile of Google when you can have your new computer (or used ... depends on how this pocket). According to this theory, the government of the country of Jesus could not do more than small changes in wages or employment rates to help our friend to avoid emigration.
Moreover, Jesus is not no fool and understands that the industrialization of their country who are not suited to compete in the global market are excluded. Jesus remembers when they got some guys blonde with blue eyes and set up large factories in his town and many of its inhabitants had to migrate to the city looking for work. According to the theory of Immanuel Wallerstein worlds, this is something that had to happen. Developed countries are growing investment in peripheral regions of the country Less developed undermining the peasant economy and leaving a very vulnerable population to emigration.
Moreover, the creation of capitalist centers with a work force rich and well formed generated a strong demand for labor services to low-skilled as our beloved friend Jesus and especially his wife if necessary. That is, economic globalization is the reason why Jesus emigrate following the traffic flow of goods and capital. Thus, the only way for our friend would not have to regulate the flow of goods and services in your country. We all know what this cause!
Finally, the years pass and Jesus misses his family. With much effort she can buy a house (but still paying the mortgage), has a dog named accompanying Butsh and knows many compatriots who encourage him to bring his family with him. Sounds like a good idea, after all, the worst is over and the risks to your family are not as many nor the costs. Jesus heard that once your child Hezbollah I wanted to study electronics and interestingly he has a couple of friends who can help do that. In this scenario, network theory is the logical claim that might happen. The migration is institutionalized by migration chains and independent of the factors that brought it. That is, the second generation and may not pursue the objectives for which Jesus came.
I was forgetting to add the way Jesus reached his destination. Nothing more, nothing less than through a group of smugglers. Well, after all is the reality that many. Obviously the migration black market very lucrative economic gaps arise. Because of the benefits arising from the demand for entry of thousands of immigrants, border enforcement efforts only serve to create a black market even more difficult to regulate.
But in this case, our story has a happy ending and I leave for reflection. In my case I will continue studying to understand the lives of many families like that of Jesus who are uprooted from one form or another in their communities of origin to adventure how are you.
