Migration workers

MIGRANTION WORKERS.

Migration is the movement from people from one place to another, migration is not considered only from one country to another, but that there is also internal migration because of armed and civil conflicts, catastrophes, wars, and others.
In Colombia, for example, I've seen a lot of this, in the armed conflicts type, because of the subversive armed groups like FARC, ELN, AUTODEFENSAS and others that are not so recognized internationally.
These groups are always threaten, killing, kidnapping and many other things that force a lot of people, mostly the peasants, to leave their territory to save their lives, but leaving behind all that they've worked for their entire lives.
But this is not the only type of migration. There is also the migration from one country to another, sometimes legally, some times not. Some times for working opportunities, and others just to escape from any authority.
After the exposition I questioned myself about what was precisely the "Brain Drain Migration", and this was what I found out.

BRAIN DRAIN MIGRATION

“The expression 'brain-drain migration' was popularized in the 1960s with the loss of skilled labor-power from a number of poor countries, notably India. Of particular concern was the emigration of those with scarce professional skills, like doctors and engineers, who had been trained at considerable expense by means of taxpayers' subsidies to higher education.
It is impossible for political reasons to forbid emigration. This was a strategy closely associated with the repressive regimes in the Soviet Union and East Germany and would not be feasible or acceptable in virtually any country today. What, then, are the possible solutions to the brain drain?
1. Emigration can be delayed. Normally, delay strategies involve some element of public service. For example, doctors may be asked to stay on for two years after their training to 'pay back' what they 'owe' to society. A more sophisticated strategy is to incorporate delay within the training period, thus ensuring that certification follows rather than precedes a spell of public service. (This is the position advanced by South Africa's Minister of Health.)

2. Emigration can be inhibited either in the destination or source countries. The main constraints in the destination countries are the labor market and immigration policies, but at high skill levels another important consideration is the portability of qualifications. Increasingly, this inhibition is falling away as educational franchise operations and international certification expand. Emigration can be inhibited in the source countries by developing special privileges for scarce groups through pay incentives, enhanced research budgets and laboratory and hospital subsidies.

3. A relaxed, market-driven solution is to ignore the emigration of skilled workers and let a brain-drain from poorer countries replace lost skills.
4. A more interventionist variation of the market solution is to recruit in target countries while developing immigration incentives. (In Canada, for example, foreign doctors working in rural areas are given accelerated immigration status.)
5. It might be possible to reduce the negative effects of the brain-drain by promoting links with skilled nationals and former nationals abroad (see below).

None of these five solutions is without its attendant problems. "
“If a brain-drain begins seriously to affect the quality and delivery of public and private services there are two obvious solutions
(a) Make it worthwhile for highly-trained professionals to stay
(b) Replace them with competent locals at a rate as fast as or faster than their departure ('brain train').
Another solution is to devise strategies of 'brain gain', like:
- Recruiting abroad in key segments,
- Return of Talent,
-The construction of a brain gain network."

Do you think the Points System in Canada is meant to protect the country’s sovereignty? Or ¿is it just a deliberated form of discrimination? ¿why?


Alter the boom made by the industrialization and the urbanization of Canada migration began to increase, most migrants were looking to live a better life, the localization plays an important role because it is located between the states and the winter. Most immigrants were british and Americans, and even the government favour them, Mackenzie King’s states that Canada had the right to decide and select the future citizens, he considered it was not a fundamental right it was more a privilege than anything else. The points system emphasizes on the skills, education and training of the independent immigrant, rather than his/her ethnical background. They had a preference on immigrants, it is evident that Canada has a preference for skill immigrants, and in some way it is good for the country and the economy and the development to have skilled workers, somehow the will help to grow the country. But on the other hand it has a little bit of deliberated discrimination, because even though skilled workers are required to the economy, labor workers are the ones that work for the skilled ones, and somehow they are the ones that move companies and the economy, so, both are necessary.
