MIGRATION
Laurie Taylor investigates the phenomenon of migration.Ìý In global terms, the number of people living outside their own countries for more than a year at a stretch amounts to two per cent of the world’s total population, about 180 million people.
Migration is not a single phenomenon and the stories of why people choose to migrate, where they choose to migrate to and what happens when they get there are as various and complexÌýas the history of more sedentary peoples.
With the help of expert witnesses - Professor Bill Jordan, author of Migration: The Boundaries of Equality and Justice and Dr. Liza Schuster, author of a continuing comparative study of the migrant experience in Western Europe - Laurie Taylor hears about historic waves of migration and the shifts that have led to current patterns both from within and without Europe and howÌýmigrants differing psychological dispositions may influence where they try to get to and how they behave towards each other when they arrive.
