Question

please give me matter for debate topic-About successful migrants and their improved standard of living ​​

Answer 1

Answer:

Migration is a feature of social and economic life across many countries, but the profile of migrant

populations varies considerably. In part this is because of the variety of sources of migration. In much of

Europe, for example, citizens enjoy extensive rights to free movement. In Australia, Canada and New

Zealand, managed labour migration plays an important role. Other sources include family and

humanitarian migration. Whatever its source, migration has important impacts on our societies, and

these can be controversial. The economic impact of migration is no exception.

Benefit or burden – what’s the reality? To answer this question, it can be helpful to look at migration’s

impact in three areas – the labour market, the public purse and economic growth.

Labour markets

 Migrants accounted for 47% of the increase in the workforce in the United States and 70% in Europe over

the past ten years.

 Migrants fill important niches both in fast-growing and declining sectors of the economy.

 Like the native-born, young migrants are better educated than those nearing retirement.

 Migrants contribute significantly to labour-market flexibility, notably in Europe.

The public purse

 Migrants contribute more in taxes and social contributions than they receive in benefits.

 Labour migrants have the most positive impact on the public purse.

 Employment is the single biggest determinant of migrants’ net fiscal contribution.

Economic growth

 Migration boosts the working-age population.

 Migrants arrive with skills and contribute to human capital development of receiving countries.

 Migrants also contribute to technological progress.

Understanding these impacts is important if our societies are to usefully debate the role of migration.

Such debates, in turn, are essential to designing policies in areas like education and employment that

maximise the benefits of migration, especially by improving migrants’ employment situation.

This policy mix will, of course, vary from country to country. But the fundamental question of how to

maximise the benefits of migration, both for host countries and the migrants themselves, needs to be

addressed by many OECD countries in coming decades, especially as rapid population ageing increases

demand for migrants to make up shortfalls in the workforce.
