Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    Define interdependence in the context of migration.

    Model answer

    Interdependence means host and source countries each come to rely on the other through the movement of people. Money, skills, trade and family ties run in both directions.

  2. 2

    Give an economic example of host dependence on migrant labour.

    Model answer

    The United Kingdom care sector relies heavily on migrant staff, and health and care visas ran at record levels in 2022 and 2023. Employers argue that removing that labour would leave posts unfilled rather than free them for local workers.

  3. 3

    Give a social example of interdependence between host and source places.

    Model answer

    Migrant families keep households in two countries, sending money one way and gifts, news and visits the other. Grandparents at home often raise children whose parents work abroad.

  4. 4

    Give a political example of interdependence.

    Model answer

    Source governments lobby host states over the treatment and visa terms of their citizens. The Philippines negotiates formal labour agreements for its overseas workers.

  5. 5

    Give an environmental example of interdependence.

    Model answer

    Remittance-funded building in source villages raises demand for cement, timber and land. Emissions from frequent flights between home and host also rise with circular migration.

  6. 6

    What is a labour export policy?

    Model answer

    A labour export policy is a government strategy of training and placing workers abroad to earn foreign currency. The Philippines has run one since the 1970s.
