Abstract: |
The
global financial crisis that began in September 2008
can be viewed as having a deeper and more global
effect on the movement of people around the world
than any other economic downturn in the post-World
War II era of migration, finds a new MPI report
commissioned by the BBC World Service. The report
explores how the recession has affected the movement
of some of the world's more than 195 million
migrants and their remittances in locations around
the globe. It provides data on migration,
remittances, employment, and poverty rates for
immigrants and the native-born alike; and examines
the policy changes some countries have enacted to
suppress migrant inflows, encourage departures
(including through recent "pay-to-go" plans), and
protect labor markets for native-born workers. |

Abstract: |
In recent
years, a new migration stream from Egypt to Europe,
especially to Italy and France, has been observed.
In this study, an attempt is made to explore
Egyptian migratory patterns in these two countries.
Firstly, migration statistics and estimates of
Egyptians abroad vary according to source. The
Egyptian estimates are always higher than the
receiving countries’ estimates and, sometimes,
estimates vary from one source to another within one
country. These discrepancies in the statistics are
explored. Secondly, a qualitative research project
was carried out in Italy and France to learn about
the patterns of Egyptian migration in these two
countries. Moreover, migration policies and the
living and working conditions of Egyptians in these
two destinations are explored. Qualitative methods
are utilized through the interviewing of 36
Egyptians in Milan and Paris in 2008. Interviewees
were identified utilizing the snowball technique. In
addition to the in-depth interviews, group
discussions and observations were utilized to
fulfill the objectives of this study. After the
introductory section, contemporary Egyptian
migration is explained in Section II. Section III is
devoted to the explanation of the discrepancies
between statistics on Egyptian migrants. Section V
explores Egyptian migration policies and cooperation
on migration. The penultimate section is devoted to
the living and working conditions of Egyptians in
Milan and Paris, while the last section offers a
conclusion. |
