...Bapir Title Human Resources Challenges: In Relation to Terrorism & Migration Date of Submission 4th of November, 2015 Human Resources Challenges: In Relation to Terrorism & Migration In general, human resources management (HRM) is concerned with the personnel dimensions of an organization. There is a set of functions each Human Resources Management department must perform, in order to achieve its objectives. However, the most frequent human resources functions that any typical organization could have are; job analysis and job design, recruitment and selection of employees, employees’ training and development, performance management, compensation and benefits, labor relations, and finally managerial relations. These seven human resource areas and their associated functions contribute to the most common objectives of an adequate quantity of competent employees with high skills, abilities and knowledge that are requisite for satisfying the goals of an organization. HRM is facing a lot of issues due to the instable economy as well as local and international progresses that are occurring rapidly. In the Survey of Global HR Challenges: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, several challenges for HRM were revealed. This survey concluded that "despite national and regional differences, there was remarkable unanimity” and unveiled the following HRM challenges among others: change management, leadership development and organizational effectiveness. In addition to these...

...Thursday London Edition 3 'Environmental migration' fears BYLINE: Clive Cookson in London SECTION: WORLD NEWS; Pg. 7 LENGTH: 448 wordsHIGHLIGHT: News analysisTens of millions of people are moving to places that are more vulnerable to environmental disaster, particularly the urban flood plains of Asia and Africa, according to a UK government report.By focusing mainly on the people displaced by drought, floods and famine, the world is neglecting those "trapped" in deteriorating environmental conditions or moving into them, says the study prepared by the government's Foresight programme that examines issues 20 to 80 years in the future.The report is the outcome of a two-year study involving 350 experts from 30 countries.It says the problems of migration in response to environmental change are far more complex and challenging than policymakers have realised. But the report, which looks ahead for 50 years, urges them to focus on the positive as well as negative impact of migration."Under some circumstances migration, particularly in low-income countries, can transform a community's ability to cope with environmental change," said Sir John Beddington, UK chief scientific adviser."The movement of individuals or small groups, even at a local or regional level, may increase the future resilience of large communities," he added."This will reduce the risk of both humanitarian disasters and of potentially destabilising mass migration under high risk conditions."A relatively small...

...Indonesia has a long history of migrant workers to Saudi Arabia. The unfair treatment of the workers always draws global attention on the human rights of the migrant workers. However, the activists NGOs of women migrants need our attention even more than usual. As women do not enjoy equal social (or even in household) position as men in Indonesia (local scale), they are usually been ignored by the government, both Saudi Arabian (national scale) and Indonesian governments (global scale). They are seriously abused and harass in those countries and suffer from great fear of losing their opportunity of going back to their home country as their passports have been collected by the agencies under illegal reasons. It is a shame that there are many NGOs to fight for equal gender treatment but the problem seems too broad and complicated and the leakage is not easy to fix. I argue that activist NGOs in those Southeast Asian countries have work hardly on both politics of scale and social construction of scale in from local to global scales, and they have gained more global attention by decades than before as more people and governments pay more attention on the women migrants now. It is essential to set effective labour laws to protect women (or other migrant workers) from being cheated by the agencies for false income rate and departure date, to avoid more victims to appear and do not know the effective way to contact the NGOs to help. First, I will provide a brief historical background...

...Migration Migration is identified as a movement of people. There can be two kinds of migration: immigration and emigration. In this part I am going to talk only about immigration to Germany. It is defined as a movement of people into country. This movement will help to meet future labour demand and a shortages caused by shrinking German working-age population. However, international recruitment is difficult process. Restrictions still prevent the employment of most skilled workers, even if there is a labour shortage. In Germany there are three types of immigrants: EU-immigrants, non-EU and students. Skilled workers The biggest shortage in German labour market is skilled workers. The market is showing shortages in different occupations. For example, there are not enough engineers, IT specialist, mathematicians or specialists in natural science. Scarcity is expected to reach 5.4 million by 2025 (federal Employment Agency, 2011 a ) . Immigrants should fill out this labour deficit. There are two kinds of immigrants- EU and non-EU immigrants. The most of high-skilled immigrants come from non-EU countries. In 2011 most of them were from India, United States, Japan, China. Regulations are different for both, but for latter much stricter. Regulations EU immigrants Citizens from European Economic Area ( EU plus Iceland, Norway, Lichtenstein) and Switzerland are allowed to live and work in Germany freely. The only requirement is to register your living place. The only exception...

...The topic I chose to do is migration. Migration is the movement of people from one place to another. There are four main types of migration permanent, temporary, voluntary or forced and they can be internal or international. Internal means going from your country to another within the same region and international means to from one country to another. There are various reasons why people migrate and migration has to do a lot with push and pull factors. Push factors are those which force a person to move. This can include drought, famine, lack of jobs, over population and civil war. Pull factors are those which encourage a person to move. These include a chance of a better job, better education and a better standard of living. In my article reviews I will reveal some of the reasons for migration. Since migration occurs all over the world I decided to go beyond the beautiful tranquil waters of The Bahamas into the regions of South Africa and China. I selected two out four articles which are related Africa and the other two on China these are all based on some form of migration. My first article is entitle Migration and Elderly Africans in the United States and this speaks distinctively on Immigration migration. The second article entitle The socio-economic impact of African immigration on urban development in South Africa: the case of Empangeni this speaks distinctively on African immigration in South Africa. My third article entitle Rural-urban migration and urbanization in Gansu...

The topic is pertinent to the current Nepalese context. All are related to recent conference ‘National Remittance Conference- 2013: national conference on remittance for development in Nepal’. Abstract A remittance is basically the transfer of money by a foreign worker to his or her home country or simply sending an amount of money from one country to another. Money sent home by migrants constitutes the second largest financial inflow to many developing countries, exceeding international aid. According to World Bank report in 2012, $401 billion new remittance record went to developing countries with overall global remittances (including developed countries) topped $514 billion. Our economy at large is remittance based economy. Remittance accounts...

...countries resulted in the nations losing their economic and productivity potentials. Similarly, according to Portes, the concept of ‘brain drain’ was mainly harmful for the native countries as it resulted in the development of the North and backwardness of the Southern countries. Phase-2 (1970s-1990s) The reviews from a majority of the scholars concluded that the concept of ‘brain drain’ is in fact not beneficial for the native country as it usually results in the host country gaining benefits from the inflow of qualified skilled workers and depriving the sending country of this human capital and potential. The solutions suggested to reduce this include the implementation of migration policies and to create and fortify the role of the International Organizations and Institutions to manage these migration flows. During 1970s, brain drain was often...

...basic geographical area throughout the year. The eastern North American monarch butterfly is a unique variant because it undertakes an incredible migration, spanning thousands of miles, crossing through three countries and requires three to four generations to complete this cycle every year. Throughout this journey, the monarchs breed, lay their eggs and die; it is their offspring which complete the journey. Starting in central Mexico in early spring, the monarchs traverse northward throughout a majority of the eastern United States and into southern Canada before returning to their overwintering grounds in the Transvolcanic Belt of central Mexico before winter sets in (Rudolf, Ely, Schaefer, Williamson, & Thill, 2006; Yoon, 1998; Williams, Stow, & Brower, 2007; Williams & Brower, 2007). Over one billion butterflies migrate southward from their one million square mile breeding range, forming densely packed colonies of up to 50 million butterflies per hectare while they winter over from November through March. In fact, the third and fourth generational prodigy southward migrating butterflies will frequently return to the same areas of trees as did their ancestors (Williams et al., 2007). Why the monarchs migrate is still not known. According to an article in The New York Times (Yoon, 2002), some scientists have called this migration an endangered biological...

...MIGRATION, MAINSTREAMING, EDUCATION AND HEALTH 1 ***Draft 2B*** Introduction If well-managed, migration has been recognized by the UN System-wide Task Team’s report Post 2015 Agenda: Realizing the Future We Want for All as an important tool “to ensure that globalization becomes a positive force for all the world’s peoples of present and future generations”. Migration can be an enabler of human development by enhancing people’s income, health and education. An improved standard of education and of physical, mental and social wellbeing not only empowers migrants, but also allows them to substantially contribute towards the social and economic development of their home communities and host societies. However, this can only happen when the rights and wellbeing of all those affected by migration are fulfilled and they are recognized as “positive agents of innovation with human rights.” The post-2015 development agenda concerns more than anyone the generation being born now. Healthy, safe and well-educated children are the cornerstone of thriving societies, sustainable growth and proper management of natural resources. For over a decade, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have widely benefited children, both boys and girls, and young people. However, “there is major unfinished business as well as emerging and neglected issues that must be addressed boldly in the post-2015 development agenda, to ensure a world fit for children”. 2 One of the flaws of the MDGs is that by relying...

Immigration laws and policies in Spain 2. Main countries from where people emigrate to Spain 1. Bulgarians in Spain 3. Main reasons for choosing Spain III. Conclusion The data used in this project is from year 2005. Why did I choose this topic? 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 proved to be a very interesting one. I learned many new things while writing this paper and it was really interesting to read all this information about immigrants and their reasons to go to Spain and not some other country. I. Introduction 1. The term immigration and the general theories behind it...

...such workers conducted during January–February 2009. The author focuses on the number of migrant workers returning to their home villages for the annual New Year holiday period, the types of workers that were laid off, options available to such workers upon losing employment, and the reasons underlying their subsequent moves. Implications of the findings for labor policy in China are briefly outlined and several directions for future research identified.

Key words: China, global financial crisis, migrant workers, unemployment, globalization, rural development, push factors, manufacturing exports, hukou, migration networks, remittances, Chinese New Year, return migration. INTRODUCTION M igration is closely tied with processes of globalization and the global economy, and China’s rural-to-urban migrant workers have contributed substantially to the country’s economic growth and success. This group of hard-working laborers has made inexpensive “made-in-China” products available in almost every corner of the world. Varying sources estimate that migrant workers2 have contributed 16–24 percent of China’s GDP growth and one-third to 40 percent of the rural net income (Yan and Li, 2007; Harney, 2008; Cai and Chan, 2009).3 However, migrants have been the most vulnerable group of workers,4 and have the most insecure terms of employment, as evidenced by mass layoffs in the migrant-dominated...
