👥 The concentration of young workers in global migration has become significant, indicating the importance of this demographic in the labor force.

⚔️ Conflict has led to a rise in the number of refugees, contributing to the complexity of global migration.

📌 Regional differences in female migration: higher numbers in Europe and North America compared to Asia and Africa.

🧑‍🔬 Reasons for higher numbers of female migrants in developed countries: greater freedoms, legal rights, access to education, and medical improvements.

🛰 Women in developed countries are more likely to become economic migrants due to their greater rights and independence.

🌍 Female migrants are now higher in developed countries than men.

📚 Limited access to education opportunities can hinder women's migration.

👩‍👧‍👦 Patriarchal societies and cultural norms restrict women's mobility.

🚫 Legal and political restrictions can prevent women from leaving their country.

🌍 Migration barriers and restrictions still exist for certain women in different parts of the world.

📊 There is a high concentration of young migrants in international migration.

💼 Young migrants move to seek better employment opportunities and send remittances back to their families.

🌍 Global migration is becoming more complex with various factors influencing the movement of workers.

💼 Young male workers from countries like India and Bangladesh are migrating to the UAE and Saudi Arabia for job opportunities, particularly in construction.

💰 These workers are able to earn significant amounts of money and either return to their home countries or send remittances back.

⚽ Events like the FIFA World Cup create employment opportunities for low-skilled workers, attracting migration to host countries.

🧱 The influx of workers from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh to countries like the UAE has had a significant impact on their population.

🌐 Conflict in countries like Syria, South Sudan, Afghanistan, Venezuela, and the DRC has led to a rise in the number of refugees and internally displaced people.

🚶‍♀️ In the 21st century, the number of displaced people has increased, reaching 41.2 million in the 90s.

⭐️ The number of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) has doubled to 82.4 million by 2020, largely due to war, conflict, and political problems.

🗺️ Most refugees end up in neighboring countries, such as Syrians in Turkey and Venezuelans in Colombia, with some exceptions like Germany, which has more pro-asylum policies.

🏕️ Refugees often reside in refugee camps near the borders of the countries they have escaped from, with these camps expanding rapidly over time.

⏳ On average, refugees can spend up to ten years in camps with limited resources and harsh living conditions.

💰 The ability to migrate depends on having income or established diaspora networks, as well as financial resources.

🌍 Migration to the global north from conflict areas like Syria is influenced by financial capacity and existing networks.
