The World Migration Report 2011
Allow me to submit my tad bit of opinion on two of these topics a.
Super Stores b. The World Report on migration.
I am a regular ASDA (Wal-Mart) customer. I do patronise other
well-known Superstores like Tesco, Carrefour, Ikea etc.
These organisations are so powerful that they will go ahead with their
expansion. All that you can do is delay. Now, there are
MacDonalds' restaurants everywhere - they have no problem in finding
the prime spots in the cities for their business.
Immigration: The World Migration Report 2011 warns misinformation about
migration fans "harmful stereotypes, discrimination and xenophobia"
The report gives some statistics to point out that a lot of the figures
quoted by countries are inaccurate.
The migration that takes place from China, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan
and Philippines heading for the Middle East and the Gulf States is that
of
temporary labour. Rigid national legislation keeps them out from civic
life, but their culture is respected..
