Who: Carl Haub, senior demographer at PRB and author of PRB’s annual World Population Data Sheet
Nearly 3 million people migrate to other countries today. As long as high birth rates and poverty continue to place pressure on populations, migrants will see advantages to moving to countries with more resources and greater opportunities. While the sending countries may miss the migrants’ contributions, countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom can benefit from migrants with much-needed talent—such as teachers and health-care workers.
With aging societies in Europe, and with Japan and other Asian countries seeing a reduction in their labor forces, the need for workers will conflict with many countries' desires to remain relatively culturally homogeneous.
How will countries cope with these and other issues? Join our discussion with Carl Haub on Nov. 9.
