Impacts of Migration on Country of Destination (Host Country)
[9:18] By Melissa Siegel Description: In this video, we will specifically examine the effects of international migration in destination, or host, countries. Migration effects are observed at different levels of society and under a variety of circumstances. While this video is not meant to be a complete list of every effect host countries or locations will experience, it will summarize some of the most commonly discussed and researched outcomes. In general, there are effects that individual immigrants or groups of migrants experience themselves in the destination country. There are also effects of migration on the communities where migrants live. Finally, there are macro-level effects felt at the country or regional level.
Impacts of Migration on Country of Origin
[9:09] By Melissa Siegel Description: What happens when people migrate? This video discusses how mobility can have micro level effects, for example, on the immediate family members or households that an emigrant leaves. On the other end of the spectrum, we will talk about effects at the country or regional level which are also referred to as macro level effects. We can also see effects at the community level in areas where migrants come from. This video is not meant to give an exhaustive list of all of the effects migration can have on a country or place of migrant origin, but to give a general overview of the most common mechanisms and effects of migration in the country or place of origin.
