Describe how migration impacts the political climate of a home or sending country. Use specific examples from your text to describe both typical patterns of migration from sending countries as well as how these patterns of migration can influence the political climate of sending countries
What will be an ideal response?
The political climate of a home country will be impacted differently depending on who is leaving. As migration from poor or developing nations tends to be concentrated among the most educated, these nations may see a decline in democratic progress as the most educated are also the most democratic. This may embolden bad regimes. However, the diaspora community can exert pressure from outside. Students should address the demographics of who is leaving developing/sending countries and how these demographics are important in determining impacts to political systems as well as give examples of how the migration of certain groups may impact politics.
