Summarize the key patterns and drivers of migration into and out of the region
What will be an ideal response?
Two basic elements have affected migration in the region. Economic growth associated with the oil industry—as well as relative labor shortages—have resulted in widespread in-migration of foreign workers into places such as Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates. Some countries, such as Egypt, are also experiencing brain drains, as the more educated leave for both better economic opportunities and to move away from political instability. Political instability has also generated substantial refugee flows, such as the movement of people out of conflict-prone Sudan.
