academic research on migration, little of it has penetrated the policies proposed by politicians and international organizations or the public sphere.\u003cbr\u003e This is one of the reasons why so many immigration policies have failed or backfired.\u003cbr\u003e After years of conducting personal and collaborative research, giving public lectures, participating in radio and television debates, and working with governments and international organizations, I have come to the conclusion that simply delivering \"truth to those in power\" is not enough to change the climate and elevate the quality of debate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---From the \"Preface\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The most important thing to know is that more than three-quarters of the world's population lives in the place and region where they were born. \u003cbr\u003eGeographic inequalities in economic opportunity are enormous, yet the majority remain in their hometowns.\u003cbr\u003e Only 3% of the population lives abroad, a proportion that has remained remarkably stable over the past several decades.\u003cbr\u003e Contrary to political rhetoric and media imagery, in reality, large-scale migration of entire populations from their homes is rare.\u003cbr\u003e Even if people are forced to leave their homes due to natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes or war, it often ends up as a temporary, short-distance migration.\u003cbr\u003e Most of them stay close to their hometown.\u003cbr\u003e Long-distance migration across continents is an exceptional case.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---「Misunderstanding 1.\u003cbr\u003e “Immigration is at an all-time high”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There is a widespread belief that the West is overwhelmed by a flood of refugees that has overwhelmed its asylum systems, but the data clearly contradict this belief.\u003cbr\u003e As we have seen, many Western countries, especially those in Europe, have accommodated far more refugees in the postwar decades. \u003cbr\u003eThe number of refugees is not significantly higher today than in the past, most remain close to home, and the world's poorest countries bear the brunt of the burden.\u003cbr\u003e Ultimately, the 'refugee crisis' we often talk about is not a numerical crisis, but a political crisis.\u003cbr\u003e It reflects a lack of political will to accept refugees and share the responsibility with other destination countries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---「Misunderstanding 3.\u003cbr\u003e The world is facing a refugee crisis\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the Todga Valley region of southern Morocco, for example, rising education and increased media exposure have led to a rapid shift in the material and social aspirations of the younger generation.\u003cbr\u003e While living conditions in the region have improved significantly in recent decades, residents' aspirations for life have grown even faster, and so has their desire to migrate. \u003cbr\u003eMigrants who returned to their hometowns every summer vacation season and showed off their relative wealth were 'role models' who changed the social aspirations of the people living in the valley area.\u003cbr\u003e International migration, in particular, has become so strongly linked to success that many young people have become almost obsessed with leaving their hometowns.\u003cbr\u003e In addition, the number of people among the Todd Valley residents with the resources, skills, and knowledge necessary for migration increased.\u003cbr\u003e As the desire and ability to migrate grew, Todd was inspired to leave the canyon, and more people actually did leave.\u003cbr\u003e Even though local living standards, incomes, and education levels have improved.\u003cbr\u003e Paradoxically, it was the rising standards of living, income, and education that drove them to leave the valley.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---「Misunderstanding 5.\u003cbr\u003e “If poor countries develop, migration will decrease.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOur society is richer than ever before, but inequality has grown and wages have stagnated or even fallen.\u003cbr\u003e Young people face more financial insecurity than their parents due to issues like student loans and the ability to secure stable jobs and affordable housing.\u003cbr\u003e Job security is declining, and more and more young people are being forced into unstable, temporary work in the gig economy.\u003cbr\u003e But the real reason these problems arose was not immigration, but deliberate policy choices.\u003cbr\u003e Because politicians have deliberately chosen policies that deregulate labor markets, reduce job security, weaken unions, erode workers' rights, drive down wages, and widen income inequality. \u003cbr\u003eThese policies have worsened the economic situation for low-income earners and the younger generation, and have left the middle class increasingly unsure of their ability to maintain their standard of living in the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---「Misunderstanding 8.\u003cbr\u003e From \"Immigrants Steal Jobs and Lower Wages\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Has unification failed? Is the culture or religion of a particular group an obstacle to integration? The short answer is no.\u003cbr\u003e Many immigrant groups face challenges with integration, discrimination, and adaptation during the first few decades after settlement.\u003cbr\u003e But in the long run, these problems are usually temporary.\u003cbr\u003e Evidence suggests that the vast majority of immigrants, including those from disadvantaged or completely different cultural backgrounds, achieved remarkable success in \"self-sufficiency\" within one or two generations through education and hard work. \u003cbr\u003eThe progress made by the children and grandchildren of immigrants in terms of language, education, employment, and income is impressive.5 And this success is almost entirely the result of the immigrants' own efforts to overcome disadvantage and discrimination.\u003cbr\u003e There is also no evidence that irreconcilable cultural differences generally hinder the integration of so-called non-Western immigrants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---「Misunderstanding 10.\u003cbr\u003e From “Immigrant Integration Has Failed”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ordinary citizens are very likely to face difficulties due to the social and cultural changes that come with immigration.\u003cbr\u003e Because we often work in the same places as immigrants and live as neighbors with immigrants.\u003cbr\u003e The wealthy who live in affluent neighborhoods or 'gateway communities' do not directly experience the impact of immigration on their daily lives.\u003cbr\u003e The problem is not just the influx of low-skilled workers. \u003cbr\u003eAs highly skilled immigrant workers move in and settle next to wealthy, native-born residents in gentrifying inner-city areas, long-time residents, whether immigrants or natives, may find it increasingly difficult to survive and may even be forced to leave.\u003cbr\u003e They are leaving because they cannot afford the rising rent, or they are being evicted from their homes due to construction of new apartments or shopping centers.\u003cbr\u003e It's only natural that ordinary citizens are skeptical of businesspeople who praise immigration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---「Misunderstanding 14.\u003cbr\u003e From “Immigration Solves All Economic Problems”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ultimately, despite political rhetoric and media reports, there are few noticeable differences between left-wing and right-wing parties in terms of policy implementation.\u003cbr\u003e In general, ideological differences between political parties have little influence on the policies adopted by governments. \u003cbr\u003eFactors other than ideological differences have a much greater influence.\u003cbr\u003e Economic fluctuations have a significant impact on migration policy.\u003cbr\u003e As the economy grows and labor shortages arise, pressure from businesses to pressure governments to accept more migrant workers will increase, and public opposition to immigration will likely ease.\u003cbr\u003e As the economy slows and unemployment rises, calls from unions and conservatives to halt recruitment of migrant workers and limit immigration will gain traction.\u003cbr\u003e Ultimately, it is the business cycle that influences the political will to accept more immigrants.\u003cbr\u003e The ruling party's ideology generally has no effect on voter turnout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---「Misunderstanding 17.\u003cbr\u003e From \"Conservatives are more aggressive on immigration\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Racism has no direct relationship with immigration. \u003cbr\u003eThroughout Western history, non-immigrant people have often suffered from racial discrimination, including African Americans and Native Americans in the United States, Gypsies and Jews in Europe, and so on.\u003cbr\u003e However, historically, racial discrimination has often been intertwined with human mobility, as Europeans invaded other continents, conquered non-Europeans, and enslaved them.\u003cbr\u003e The root of modern racism is colonialism.\u003cbr\u003e This is because an ideology that dehumanizes non-Europeans was needed to justify the denial of human rights due to colonialism.\u003cbr\u003e Europeans justified colonialism as a \"civilizing mission\" by denigrating their own culture and genetic characteristics as \"inferior.\"\u003cbr\u003e Controlling the colored labor force has always been central to the colonial economy.\u003cbr\u003e This unequal treatment still affects us today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---「Misunderstanding 18.\u003cbr\u003e Public opinion turned its back on immigration.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBorder controls clearly cannot prevent illegal immigrants from entering the country as long as people have a valid reason to migrate.\u003cbr\u003e It's not a problem that can be solved with a simple 'solution,' but past solutions have not only been wasteful and ineffective, but have also made the problem more difficult.\u003cbr\u003e In fact, the reason why migrants and refugees use the services of smugglers is because there are no legal migration channels.\u003cbr\u003e Immigration restrictions and border controls have only increased the size of the smuggling market and increased the costs and risks of land and sea travel.\u003cbr\u003e It has not and will not stop migrants from coming, only increasing human suffering and loss of life.\u003cbr\u003e Any policy of 'fighting' illegal immigration is bound to fail.\u003cbr\u003e Because the very policy of 'fighting' illegal immigration is one of the causes of illegal immigration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---「Misunderstanding 19.\u003cbr\u003e “Illegal immigration is the cause of illegal immigration”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003ePolicies aimed at regulating migration fail to achieve the expected results because they fail to accurately understand the realities of migration.\u003cbr\u003e Because politicians are so fixated on the sheer number of people entering the country, they fail to see the impact of immigration control policies on returns and overall circulation patterns.\u003cbr\u003e Indeed, the evidence suggests that politicians' desire to reduce inflows is incompatible with their desire to encourage circulation and the return of migrant workers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---「Misunderstanding 21.\u003cbr\u003e From \"Border Restrictions Reduce Immigration\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Climate change is real.\u003cbr\u003e If global warming accelerates as expected, it will have serious implications for productivity, livelihoods, and the stability of the entire Earth's ecosystem, reaching dangerous tipping points.\u003cbr\u003e Urgent action is needed to prevent irreversible damage.\u003cbr\u003e But

based on his long experience as an immigrant, saying, “In an era overflowing with overly simplistic and extreme claims like ‘now is a migration crisis’ and ‘migration is a great opportunity,’ this is an essential book for understanding the nature and causes of migration.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book was written by author Hein de Haas out of desperation. \u003cbr\u003eEvery time he explained various aspects of immigration, politicians branded him as “a pro-immigration person.”\u003cbr\u003e However, just as it is absurd to oppose the import and export of goods, the same is true for the migration of people.\u003cbr\u003e There can be no complete blocking or complete opening.\u003cbr\u003e The key is how natives and immigrants create a successful collaborative process.\u003cbr\u003e Eventually, De Haas decided to write directly to the public.\u003cbr\u003e The somewhat heavy topic of 'immigration' is presented in an interesting format of overturning 22 misunderstandings.\u003cbr\u003e Rare data and graphs, such as global migration maps, add to the enjoyment of reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIt's no longer someone else's

Is it true that opinions on migration are sharply divided along political lines? Is the world facing a refugee crisis? How much of an impact do migrants have on crime rates?

Swiss writer Max Frisch summarized the conundrum of guest workers this way:\u003cbr\u003e “We wanted workers, but what we got instead were people.” Japan and Korea now appear to be in a similarly ambiguous situation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, I believe that the scientific insights contained in this book will play a significant role in the future debate and policy regarding immigration in Korea.\u003cbr\u003e As I will discuss in more detail later, immigration policies that fail to properly understand the reality of migration often fail or even have the opposite effect. \u003cbr\u003eI sincerely hope that this book will encourage high-level discussion on immigration in Korean society and politics and serve as a catalyst for developing more realistic ideas about future migration trends.\u003cbr\u003e Above all, I hope that Korea will not repeat the mistakes of many countries that have immigrated in the past.\u003cbr\u003e And I sincerely hope that this book will help Korea design better and more effective immigration policies that benefit all members of society.”\u003cbr\u003e -From 'To Korean Readers'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e“What will our future look like as a result of immigration?”\u003cbr\u003e In the current situation where the establishment of an immigration office is being discussed,\u003cbr\u003e A book that provides insights into immigration!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Immigration: People Who Choose Their Country\" is a book in which the author has put a lot of effort into conveying the reality of immigration in detail and as it is. \u003cbr\u003eIt was written to spark a truly needed discussion about migration, based on the best data and scientific insights.\u003cbr\u003e As the majority learns the truth, even those who raise legitimate concerns about migration, integration, and separation will begin to acknowledge that migration is, to some extent, inevitable, that migrant workers play an essential role in our society, and that migrants and refugees also have fundamental rights.\u003cbr\u003e This is why the author sees hope in the migration issue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book is divided into three parts and 22 chapters.\u003cbr\u003e The virtue of this book is that it avoids unnecessary academic jargon, but does not avoid the nuanced and complex knowledge necessary for a fundamental understanding of the migration process, covering it in detail.\u003cbr\u003e Part 1: Misconceptions about Migration explores trends in international migration patterns. \u003cbr\u003eWe examine the changes in the scope, scale, and direction of recent migration and the factors driving these changes.\u003cbr\u003e It also debunks common claims and misconceptions about the causes of migration and reveals the real factors driving recent shifts in international migration patterns.\u003cbr\u003e Part 2, “Immigration: Threat or Solution,” explores the impact of migration on both destination and origin societies.\u003cbr\u003e It analyzes why most immigrant groups have integrated fairly smoothly, while others have remained marginalized and segregated for long periods.\u003cbr\u003e We also critically examine various arguments regarding the negative and positive impacts of migration on society, culture, and the economy.\u003cbr\u003e Part 3: Propaganda on Migration exposes the various myths championed by politicians, interest groups, and international organizations as part of a strategy to distort the truth about immigration. \u003cbr\u003eIt exposes the significant gap between the hardline rhetoric of anti-immigration politicians and the implementation of far more lenient policies, and it also reveals that the intuitive notion that immigration restrictions reduce migration is a widely misunderstood conventional wisdom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Each chapter begins with a brief explanation of the misconception.\u003cbr\u003e It tells the story of a typical misunderstanding, along with the origins of how politicians, interest groups, and international organizations create and recycle such misunderstandings.\u003cbr\u003e In 'Reality', the misunderstanding is cleared up by citing data and evidence from history, anthropology, sociology, geography, demography, and economics.\u003cbr\u003e As with the overall goal of this book, the goals of each chapter are to demonstrate that migration is an inherent part of broader social, cultural, and economic changes in both origin and destination societies, and to present evidence on the true trends, causes, and impacts of migration.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe ultimate goal of this book is to dispel unnecessary misconceptions by providing insights grounded in the latest evidence throughout each chapter, and to offer a fresh, holistic perspective that views migration as an integral part of broader national and global transformations.\u003cbr\u003e Each chapter is written independently, so you can read only the parts that particularly interest you. However, because the entire book forms an overarching narrative, reading it in order from beginning to end will deepen your insight into the issue of migration as you reach the conclusion. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 1, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 512 pages | 746g | 152*225*32mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9788984078499\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8984078492 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43889877155882,"sku":"157223","price":36.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/c882e6a62b45cd11a396e97ba9348140.jpg?v=1765274590","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/157223","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
