Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Migration results in various economic, social, demographic, and cultural impacts on both origin and destination countries. For the origin country, migration may cause a brain drain, loss of productive and skilled workforce, but at the same time, remittances and knowledge transfers can lead to economic development. In destination countries, migration has both positive and negative effects on the economy, demographics, and society. Migration may lead to labor shortages, cultural diversity, and innovation, but also raise social tensions, xenophobia, and income inequality.
