o growing global disparities in development, democracy, and demography;
o job shortages that will be exacerbated by the current economic downturn;
o the segmentation of labour markets in high-income economies => a situation that attracts migrant
workers to so-called “3D” jobs (dirty, difficult, or dangerous);
Timofeeva A.A. 2020 c
o revolutions in communications and transportation…;
migration networks…etc…

million) – migrant workers account for 70
per cent.

transfers made by migrants directly to
families or communities in their
countries of origin.
Timofeeva A.A. 2020 c
available data reflect an overall
increase in remittances in recent
decades, from USD 126 billion
in 2000, to USD 689 billion in
2018

viewed as a percentage of
gross domestic product,
however, the top five
remittance-receiving
countries in 2018 were
Tonga (at 35.2%), followed
by Kyrgyzstan (33.6%),
Tajikistan (31%), Haiti
(30.7%) and Nepal (28%).
