Movement of People
Two major trends in the movement of people will characterize the next 15 years — urbanization and cross-border migration — each of which poses both opportunities and challenges.
Divergent demographic trends, the globalization of labor markets, and political instability and conflict will fuel a dramatic increase in the global movement of people through 2015. Legal and illegal migrants now account for more than 15 per cent of the population in more than 50 countries. These numbers will grow substantially and will increase social and political tension and perhaps alter national identities even as they contribute to demographic and economic dynamism.
States will face increasing difficulty in managing migration pressures and flows, which will number several million people annually. Over the next 15 years, migrants will seek to move:
•To North America primarily from Latin America and East and South Asia.
•To Europe primarily from North Africa and the Middle East, South Asia, and the post-Communist states of Eastern Europe and Eurasia.
•From the least to the most developed countries of Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Sub-Saharan Africa.
