immigrant workers  

Définition

  • Individuals cross international borders to reunite with their families, flee natural and human-made disasters, and improve their economic and educational opportunities and those of their families, among other reasons. Even though at the receiving end, in the major immigrant-receiving countries of Europe, Russia, and the United States, a prevailing assumption exists that these countries receive most of the global migrants, the reality is that the majority of the over 200 million migrants in the world today move within their respective regions (e.g., within Africa, within the former Soviet Union, and within Europe).
