Sustainable development and migratory movements: immigration in today's world
Abstract
Immigration is a type of human displacement, also known as migration, in which people from one country or another region enter a given society. We can say that it is a worldwide phenomenon, which is growing every day. Its causes are multiple, from economic factors, through geographic problems to situations of political conflict. The article follows a qualitative methodology, where the world of immigration is explored. The objective of this essay is to analyze the interrelation between environment, sustainable development and immigration flows as a social reality. Finally, immigration as a complex phenomenon from the socio-political, legal and economic point of view, has caused poor countries to become expellers of cheap and qualified labor, and rich countries to become recipients of the same.
