Book Description
Introduction Migration is a multi-faceted phenomenon, which is of vital importance in the process of economic development, man-power planning, urbanization and social change. (Rao, M.S.B. 1986). It is a pragmatic and a ubiquitous phenomena as through out the globe we find that migration is contributing to the socio-economic development which enables man to overcome the tyranny of political, social, economic and psychological fluctuations of a region. Like, for instance, the partition of India and Pakistan was one of the major catalysts for migration during late 1940’s when millions of persons abandoned this land and migrated to Pakistan and vice versa. Similarly, of late, many Indian computer engineers are migrating to western countries thus leading to brain drain, which is causing a severe menace of the millennium. Since time immemorial man has been ruthlessly migrating from one place to another and nowadays because of the increased transportation and communication man is more agile. Thus migration is entirely determined by the human yearning for the decision to move. Individual migration also brings changes in the process of family formation and growth. Once migration has occurred from the land of origin, both the household and the local population must adapt to the loss or gain. However the impact of an individual migration on the origin depends on the duration of absence and remittances returned. (David, P.L. 1996).

Rural-urban Migration in Developing Countries
Author: Somik V. Lall
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:
Category : Mercado de trabajo - Paises en desarrollo
Languages : en
Pages : 63
Book Description
"The migration of labor from rural to urban areas is an important part of the urbanization process in developing countries. Even though it has been the focus of abundant research over the past five decades, some key policy questions have not found clear answers yet. To what extent is internal migration a desirable phenomenon and under what circumstances? Should governments intervene and, if so, with what types of interventions? What should be their policy objectives? To shed light on these important issues, the authors survey the existing theoretical models and their conflicting policy implications and discuss the policies that may be justified based on recent relevant empirical studies. A key limitation is that much of the empirical literature does not provide structural tests of the theoretical models, but only provides partial findings that can support or invalidate intuitions and in that sense, support or invalidate the policy implications of the models. The authors' broad assessment of the literature is that migration can be beneficial or at least be turned into a beneficial phenomenon so that in general migration restrictions are not desirable. They also identify some data issues and research topics which merit further investigation. "--World Bank web site.

Quantifying Sustainable Development
Author: Charles A.S. Hall
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080492215
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 792
Book Description
Until recently, the phenomenal economic development of the Asian tigers, Chile, and Malaysia, as well as the sustained economic growth of the United States, painted a very desirable and optimistic picture of free markets, fiscal responsibility, and, more generally, the entire dogma of neoclassical economics. As of the fall of 1998, however, the economies of many tropical countries have contracted severely, and the enthusiasm of the developing tropics for the free market and all of its ancillary policies is decidedly cooler. Have our traditional approaches to economics been failing the developing world? This interdisciplinary book covers the conditions of the developing tropics, the resistance of some of their problems to earlier attempts at solutions, and the use of new tools to develop a much more comprehensive and empirical framework for analysis and decision making. It also presents the development of cutting edge technology that links GIS and modeling approaches with extensive databases on meteorology, soils, agricultural production, and land use. The book discusses whether development is sustainable through a synthesis of demographic, economic, and resource-specific considerations. Costa Rica is uniquely suited to this study because of its size, stage of development, democratic institutions, and national databases.A CD-ROM containing all data and programs, color images, animated models, large data tables, and references accompanies the book. - Links economic and biophysical analyses of sustainability - Presents new tools and approaches for analysis and decision-making - Includes a CD-ROM containing data and programs, color images, animated models, and references

Low-Carbon Economy and Sustainable Development: Driving Force, Synergistic Mechanism, and Implementation Path
Author: Zhen Liu
Publisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2832557244
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
In recent years, with global economic development and population growth, environmental issues have become increasingly prominent. Climate change and energy crisis have become global problems that restrict human development, and so need to be solved urgently. As a comprehensive economic development model, the low-carbon economy can greatly reduce energy and resource consumption, mitigate and adapt to climate change, promote economic development, and thus achieve the goal of sustainable development. Therefore, exploring efficient paths toward sustainable development through carbon reduction is an urgent and challenging research topic currently. This Research Topic aims to conduct scientific research and exchange from the perspectives of clarifying the drivers behind carbon reduction, investigating the synergistic mechanism between the low-carbon economy and sustainable development, and then exploring the pathways to low-carbon development. Through comprehensive research and comparative analysis of the relationship between low-carbon economy and sustainable development, we will verify the feasibility of innovations and updates of carbon reduction applications for sustainable development; provide scientific strategies in terms of low-carbon economy for sustainable development; design technical routes and propose corresponding policy recommendations.
