Abstract

Migration of the first homo sapiens out of Africa, the biblical exodus depicted in Moses and his people, and the post-Second World War migration waves from developing to developed countries are all examples of the high mobility of humans that has existed since the dawn of time. One of the key reasons for human migration was economic — to leave poverty and seek a better life elsewhere: the migrants typically never return to their ancestral homes and the movement was always one-way. With the greater ease in communications and transportation in the second part of the twentieth century, especially after the popularization of civilian air travel in the 1960s, migration and the associated socio-economic effects for both the sending and host countries become increasingly interconnected.
