Читать книгу The Atlas of Global Inequalities - Ben Crow - Страница 24

R People migrate to seek higher incomes, better work, access to higher education, and better healthcare. Labor migration leads to the expansion of human freedoms, so it can reduce global inequality. It has been suggested that migration could be an alternative to foreign aid. People from countries with the least development (measured by HDI) often have the most to gain from labor migration. Those who have the most to gain from migration, however, are least likely, or able, to migrate. Poverty is a significant constraint to emigration. Those in the poorest countries, and the poorest people within countries, are less able to migrate and, despite high demand for their low-skilled labor, encounter numerous barriers to their migration.
