THE EFFECTS OF LABOR MIGRATION


The enormous differences between developed countries and developing or underdeveloped countries leads countless people who are unable to get a decent job to make a living wage and put food on the table to seek their fortune in the West, the USA, China, India, The Gulf Countries and the like where there is more demand for labor. Yet is the sacrifice these people make worth it and is life in the host country all that it is cracked up to be? Who really benefits from labor migration?  Research the topic and write an essay in which you discuss the effects of labor migration.
