Discussion

Contrary to popular belief, migrants are not diseased people; however, the actual process of migrating, depending on the conditions encountered, makes migrants particularly susceptible to physical, environmental, social and psychological problems.5 In short, the migration process makes migrants and refugees vulnerable. Infectious and communicable diseases may spread in conditions where health hygiene and sanitation are poor. Likewise, the incidence of non-communicable diseases may be distributed inequitably due to the stresses of migration and the lack of access to the necessary medical services both in the countries of origin and the receiving states. Psychosocial illnesses like anxiety and depression from traumatic experiences, for example war, may lead to migrants having problems with substance abuse. To further compound their quandaries, migrants and refugees face stark differences in cultures, racism and language barriers, which are all barricades to their integration into the receiving societies.6

The European refugee crisis, was so coined because of the …show more content…

Of equal importance is the manner in which we house migrants and refugees. It is crucial that these places are protected from the elements of nature, like the hot and/ or cold temperatures, and have proper sanitation, cleaning and ventilation. Furthermore, we must continue to ensure that avenues to integrate these groups of people into either education or employment exist, because without either of those two, turning to crime or illicit activities is only a matter of time. Similarly, it is important to educate native populations about the dangers of prejudice and to encourage them to be more empathetic towards others who really had no other choice, but to run from their

The refugees were asked a series of questions inquiring about their current mental health. Specifically these three questions asked were 1) If they reported to having PTSD symptoms upon arrival, and 2) if they had used metal healthcare provider within the first year of resettlement (Lamkaddem, Stronks, Devillé, Olff, Gerritsen, & Essink-Bot, 2014).

Morris and Daniel Palazuelos explain that concern for the health of undocumented immigrants, whether they have been deported or not, is increasing among public health professionals. While there are social and economic effects of deportation, it also impacts health. Communities who experience raids exert higher levels of stress and fear. Children whose parents are detained and deported have a higher risk of developing mental and physical health problems. They also conduct interviews among a group of deportees living in Honduras about deportation.

As Peter Nyers argues: “refugees are interrelated with the discourse of emergency” (Nyers). One can argue that an ‘emergency’ continually needs a solution, which further reinforces the assumption that refugees are in need of a solution. As previously mentioned, the discursive practices are greatly influenced on one’s impression of refugees. It can be argued that these discursive practices can e.g. be the language frequently used in correlation with refugees in order to prompt a reaction. Nyers argues that often within refugee movements, these specific words are used to describe the situation: complex, crisis, border control, problem, national security, and political emergency (Nyers).

The effect of market structure on immigrants’ integration is not empirically clear and differs between studies that use various dependent variables. Some studies argue that in liberal welfare states with flexible labor markets (Kogan, 2006) and less strict product market regulation (Huber, 2015), immigrants’ employment disadvantages are smaller. That is, high levels of centralized wage bargaining and union density are related to worse labor market outcomes for immigrants relative to natives, even after controlling for compositional effects (Huber, 2015). For instance, Kogan (2006) finds that immigrants’ integration prospects improve in more flexible labor markets. She suggests that a higher degree of unionization may hamper immigrants’ labor

Migrant workers- Migrant workers tend to experience language and cultural barriers which can cause many risks. They can have issues with understanding the OSH rules which can cause them danger. Cultural barriers are like poor awareness of the labour market; they may not be aware of their rights and find themselves in low-skilled job proving to be more hazardous to their health. Migrant workers are very often employed under temporary contracts, and are exposed to the risks related to these employment forms, such as less access to OSH trainings. Undocumented migrants are predominantly at risk, although, because of their situation, consistent data may be unavailable.

Moreover, environmental displacement has an adverse effect on the social life of the refugees; they tend to be treated as outsiders and are rather hated, so during taking their education in a foreign country, they are not given equal rights like the native citizens and even in hospitals they are given less care than that given to the country’s original citizens. Besides, sometimes the environmentally displaced person suffers from racism from his colleagues, neighbors, or even teachers. Throughout Western Europe, refugees and migrants have increasingly been the targets of racist attacks and harassment, thus part of the government’s duty regarding environmental refugees is giving them their rights and enhancing their dignity in front of the original

The principle of equality and non-discrimination as spelled out in international refugee and human rights law plays a fundamental role in the guarantee of social and economic rights to refugees. Under the refugee law, Article 3 of the 1951 Refugee Convention provides that: “The Contracting States shall apply the provisions of this Convention to refugees without discrimination as to race, religion or country of origin.” From above it is clear that Article 3 of the Convention forbids discrimination only to the extent it is premised on race, religion or country of origin. However, the Preamble to the Convention makes a reference to the UN Charter and also to the UDHR as having affirmed “the principle that human beings shall enjoy fundamental rights and freedoms without discrimination” and the expression by the UN of, “its profound concern for refugees” having “endeavoured to assure refugees the widest possible exercise of these fundamental rights and freedoms”. Consequently, the 1951 Refugee Convention has its roots within the broad contours of the international human rights law framework.

Neoclassical Theory of Migration One of the oldest and most commonly used theory used to explain migration is the Neoclassical theory of Migration. Neoclassical Theory (Sjaastad 1962; Todaro 1969) proposes that international migration is connected to the global supply and demand for labor. Nations with scarce labor supply and high demand will have high wages that attract immigrants from nations with a surplus of labor. The main assumption of neoclassical theory of migration is led by the push factors which cause person to leave and the pull forces which draw them to come to that nation. The Neoclassical theory states that the major cause of migration is different pay and access to jobs even though it looks at other factors contributing to the departure, the essential position is taken by individual higher wages benefit element.
