3.1.4 Positive and Negative Effects of Migration1 Migration can bring some good and worse effects on both the side- origin as well as a host city. Most of the effects are related to economic factors and others are secondary ones.
3.1.4.1 Positive Effects on Origin 1. Migrants can send money back Most of the young generation of house migrate to urban cities in search of work, so there is no source of income back at home. More job opportunities and a high range of wages may allow people to earn more and send few amounts at home and contribute financially. This may help a family to live happily and fulfill basic requirements. 2. Migrants may benefit the place by returning Migrants come to host cities and enroll themselves in different types of works and learn new skills. If they return to their native places, by using new skills they can start their work and earn more money. And also, this may be helpful to other unemployed people to work and earn money. 3. Less competition on jobs and resources Many people migrate from origin to destination and that helps people who stay there and do work because they face less competition and basic resources may not divide between a large chunk of people. Already the place has fewer resources and the increasing population may disturb the ratio.
3.1.4.2 Negative Effects on Origin 1. Economy falls by using young workers Participation in the migration process is mostly by the young generation of rural areas. The remaining population falls under the old age group, so they can not able to work and contribute to the rising economic level of the place. They survive on the money sent by the family member. This may affect the economic level of the village and it stops the growth. 2. Brain drain movement starts Most commonly when individuals leave less developed places with less knowledge and migrate to more developed places to gain more opportunities this process is called brain drain theory. This may cause unemployment in local businesses and the economic level to fall. 3. Imbalance of gender with some side effects
