Citizenship

Question

Migration of people to different regions within the country is often resisted by the local inhabitants. What are some of the contributions that the migrants could make to the local economy?

Answer

The contributions:

Migrants perform necessary and useful work, often at low wages. Slum–dwellers in cities make a significant contribution to the economy through their labour. They may be hawkers, petty traders, scavenaers, or domestic helpers or workers, plumbers, or mechanics, among other profession. Small business such as cane–weaving, or textile printing, or tailoring, may also develop in slums.
