How Migration Affects Our Lives - Matt Green
INTRODUCTION
Human migration is a phenomenon that is as old as prehistoric man and it remains a constant to this day, whether the world is at war or at peace.
Indeed, history is full of accounts of man moving from one place of the earth to another, from the days when our ancestors went out of Africa and roamed the earth, to the many waves of the Jewish Diaspora which begun as early as the 6th Century BCE, and to modern day movements in response to events, whether conflictual (wars, ethnic cleansing, terrorism) or peaceful, such as the rush from the hinterlands to the city during the Industrial Revolution, the Middle East Construction Boom in the ‘60s, the Silicon Valley Technological Revolution in the ‘80s, and now, the Black Gold Rush in East Africa.
As technological breakthroughs in transport, communications and other fields continue to expand, and with neoliberalist economic globalization gaining ground even in traditionally communist countries, migration is expected to increase exponentially throughout the century.
The results of a Gallup poll conducted worldwide from 2007 - 2009 show that roughly 700 million adults from 135 countries would like to migrate to another country permanently, if given the chance to do so. If we were to lump all 700 million of these hypothetical migrants into one state, it would easily become the third largest in the world in terms of population size, displacing the USA, which is currently in3rd position with 311.8 million people, following China’s 1.3 billion and India’s 1.2 billion.
Gallup reported that if all the would be migrants acted on their desires today, some developing countries would suffer tremendous losses in human capital and some developed countries would be overwhelmed by drastic increases in population.
For example, based on the respondents’ listed country of origin and preferred country of destination, Sierra Leone, Haiti and El Salvador would lose 50% of their respective populations, while the population of Singapore, with a land area of only 272 square miles, would shoot up overnight from 5 million to more than 15 million; and the populations of Saudi Arabia, New Zealand and Canada would increase drastically by 180%, 175% and 170% respectively, certainly not without dire consequences, whichever way one looks at it.
In the Philippines, where acronyms and slangisms such as OFW, DH, TNT, Japayuki, Flip and Aremican Sixty Cents (American Citizen) have become part of the common man’s vocabulary to refer to Filipinos overseas, some social
