Today, we are going to start looking at the impact that migrant workers have been having around the world, and at some of the challenges that they face on both personal and institutional levels. By the end of this lecture, 1 hope you e to realize that migrant workers are not only very important to national economies but also to the global economy, and that they will continue to grow in importance as countries and panies pete more aggressively to enhance their human resources. Let me start out by giving you some statistics. Today, almost one out of every ten residents in many industrialized nations is from another country, and the number of people living and working outside their home countries has more than doubled since the mid1970s to almost 180 million. In fact, over the last ten years, thousands of people have traveled abroad in search of opportunity, and this movement has been noticed, and even encouraged, by different countries, as I will explain later. For example, Japan and Canada, and countries in Europe, Australasia, and the Middle East are beginning to realize how important workers from abroad are to their economies.
