...Youki Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of immigration to a country’s economy. The new immigration policy in UK is limit on immigration. According to this policy, the essay will describe the advantages and disadvantages of immigration to EU countries’ economy. The immigration brings a positive impact to the EU countries. For example, the workers from other countries are younger. Europe faces aging population, it needs immigrants both economically and demographically. (Quentin, 3, March, 2005) According to Dustman et al(2003)said, “ the migration from EU 8 countries broadly positive, impact on the UK labor market.” What’s more, immigration can increase the tax income and improve the economy in UK. The government said, “ 17% the total amount of 2004, the Birth economic growth was created by immigration.” According to the survey in 2000, the British immigration taxes pay for GBP 31.2 billion. In addition, the contribution from the immigration is a rising trend year of year. On the other hand, the immigration can have negative impact on the country. For example, the government underestimates the number of the immigration. Society may face a housing problem and security problem. People do not work will alcohol abuse and flooding homeless. The British worker will have a lot of pressure. The immigration to work in UK will be less paid and younger. They are often from a poor country. The British workers need to take pay cuts with ‘serious implications’ because of the...

...which is a relatively high-immigration country and a popular nation to immigrants all around the world. Since ancient time, Australia attracts a mass of immigrants to study or work because of the clean natural environment, biology diversity and rich natural resources, perfect education system as well as the multicultural society (Ehow, n.d.). It should be acknowledged that immigration has played an integral role in Australia’s population increase and economic development (Migration Expert, n.d.). The immigration in Australia has undergone a long-term process. Firstly, indigenous inhabitants have lived in Australia for approximately 40,000 years. On 26 January 1788, a date known as ‘Australia Day’ at present, the Britain’s first...

Watching half of my classmates applying in foreign universities and many of my friends and family choosing to live abroad in order to have “better life” made me wonder what the reasons behind the migrations are. I was interested in the scientific explanation behind the migration processes. This paper gave me the opportunity to understand the incentives behind people’s decisions and the main reasons, pushing people from our own country. And even if I didn’t choose the case of Spain for my topic it...

...AIA103 Australia New World Nation 3. Since the late 1940s, Australia has been transformed from a monocultural ‘British’ society to become one of the most racially and culturally diverse nations in the world. How would you explain this? Today, Australia is considered as one of the most successful nations in building a tolerant, inclusive, and culturally diverse society. Many people are willing to live in this land. However, the pace to this successful society is very tough. For the first 50 years of federation Australia, this country was a monocultural ‘British’ society. Most migrants came from Britain. Since the late 1940s, more people from different countries immigrate to Australia. Most of them are European migrants after World War II. This phenomenon triggered defensive reactions by the previous dominant of Anglo-Australians (Nichols, 2011). The dominant wanted to assimilate the immigrants at the first stage, but some conflicts occurred during this process. Then, the immigration policy has been changed from assimilationsm to multiculturalism. After the start of federation of Australia in 1901, the government utilized White Australia Policy to all Australians, preventing anyone to enter Australia unless they were from Britain and trying to make this country into an English-speaking, Anglo-Australian cultural one. At that time, English is the first language being spoken by above 95 per cent people in Australia (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2002). Britain...

...associated with Australia (Nagle, 2009). More and more immigrants arrive in Australia. The Australian government takes measures according to the control of the immigration process. However, not all measures aimed at the control of the immigration process are executed fully. Nowadays, almost 23 million people live in Australia; density of the population is about 3 persons per 1 sq. km. Ethnic composition of the Australian population consists of Europeans (mostly Englishmen and Irishmen), which make almost 95 per cent, Asians (including expatriates form Middle East) – 4 per cent, and original residents and residents from Torres Strait – almost 1 per cent (Lowe, 2012). Two-fifths of the modern Australian population consists of immigrants of the first or second generations. The process of immigration is followed by the dramatic changes of the ethnic-demographic structure of the Australian society. Before the Second World War, only expatriates from the Anglo-Saxon cultural space immigrated in Australia, however, after 1945 the situation had changed. The first dramatic immigration wave came from Eastern Europe and Scandinavia; the second wave came from South Europe (in most cases from Italia, Greece, and Malta). The third wave of immigration was caused by the advent of the Labour Party that finished the discriminatory immigration policy and, at first, opened the way for the entry of Vietnamese that rushed into the country after the unification of the South with the North, and then for...

...Let me paint you a picture of a Britain not in the EU, a Britain alone and isolated. This Britain faces unemployment of around 11 million people. It faces problems of reduced immigration creating even more financial difficulties. It faces an extremely volatile and uncertain situation regarding future trade with other countries. Today I am going to talk about why these two main points- trade and immigration – form the argument of why we should stay in the EU. The first issue I am going to raise is trade. A huge benefit to the UK and UK businesses is that as a member of the EU we have access to worry-free and tariff-free trading with all its members. As such, approximately a staggering 50% of our exports go to the EU. Critically, leaving the EU puts our economy under threat. The hope of euro sceptics that we can easily enjoy a free-trade agreement such as Switzerland and Norway is both unrealistic and more importantly dangerous. If the UK leaves the EU, it is likely that UK based firms will relocate abroad, leaving a massive hole in our economy and forcing us into another recession. Furthermore, if we were to still have a free-trade agreement with the EU, we would still have to comply with all the strict regulations. Only, these would now be regulation that we had no input or control over what so ever. Can you honestly say, having just come out of one of the biggest depressions in over half a century and with confidence slowly crawling out of the gutters, that you are prepared...

...needed to be changed. A new phenomenon spread across the country of switching from a grain based diet to potato, which took up way less room and was also highly nutritious. This worked wonders for the Irish until a huge disaster hit all: an airborne fungus that destroyed all the crops for several years. This left Ireland with the biggest ultimatum: to either stay there and most likely be faced with death, or to follow the quest for the new world in British North America. This phenomenon was embellished greatly by the British Empire so they could “free up land and lessen long-term financial obligation.” The British took full advantage of this famine, and continued to send the Irish off on vessels to Canada, making it our problem. The sick Irish continued to get sick, and the horrible conditions of the emigrant ships did not help. There were hundreds of poor people of all ages dying. The poor conditions included: lack of light, no clean air where they breathed in the diseases, sick people everywhere along with the rough immigration journey with a lack of food and medicine. The ships smelled, were extremely cramped, and filthy. Everything given to them was “of the worst quality” and “no cleanliness was enforced.” “The emigrant [was] enfeebled in body, and degraded in mind.” Although Canadians continued to blame the Irish’s “neglect of cleanliness, ventilation, and a generally good state of social economy” as the reasoning for their rapidly...

...issues or living one's life. 2. What is ethnocentrism? In what ways can ethnocentrism be detrimental to a society? Ethnocentrism is the evaluation of other cultures according to preconceptions originating in the standards and customs of one's own culture. An example of this is how we talk about written Hebrew as reading "backward." Why not just say "from right to left". Ethnocentrism is detrimental to a society because it leads us to make premature judgments. It also leads us to make false assumptions about cultural differences. 3. Define emigration and immigration. Emigration is defined as leaving a country to settle in another. If you emigrate, you leave your own country and go to live permanently in another country. People who emigrate are called emigrants. The act of emigrating is called emigration. These words are less frequent than immigrant and immigration. Immigration is defined as coming into the new country. If you immigrate to a country, you go to live in that country permanently. 4. What are some of the ways groups of people are...

From what I have learnt in the past few weeks, they are all far more present than I had realized. We see it in schools, justice system, job market etc. In the next few pages I will explain how they correlate in Canada today. More specifically relating to aboriginals and Muslims. Canada is home to more than 200 ethnic groups, with 16% of its population (over five million individuals) identifying as a visible minority. Information from the Census showed that Canada’s visible minority population grew 27% from 2001 to 2006, five times faster than the population as a whole. The diversity of Canada’s population is expected to continue to increase over the next two decades. According to projections by Statistics Canada up to 14.4 million Canadians (or about one-third of the population) will be members of a visible minority by 2031. The religious composition of the country is also changing, with some of the largest...

...Some of the problems related to population growth Population growth is the increase of people living within an area. We are living in an era of huge population growth (BBC News,2011); the world’s population has grown from 1 billion people in 1804 to 7 billion in 2011 and the world’s population is growing by 200,000 people per day (BBC News 2011). The rapid increase in the world’s population, including future predictions can be seen in figure 1 below. The increased population growth will create many challenges and problems for businesses across the globe. The strain on resources will tighten especially in areas where resources are finite, as a result of increased consumer needs and businesses will need to gather more information to successfully be able to make strategic decisions with an impact. Many supermarkets have introduced ‘self-checkouts’ in order to speed up the shopping process and also the cost of staff. Demographic changes can lead to long term implications for businesses. An ageing population combined with an increased life expectancy puts pressure on the National Health Service (NHS) within the UK. Rapid rates of urbanisation in the developing world causes problems such as traffic congestion, pollution and as a result of the limited infrastructure, slum areas are present. Many people move to the city in search for a job or perceived better quality of life. However not everyone is able to find a job, which increases crime rates within the city...
