Migration in Hard Times

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Are the economic hard times making you consider migration? The author of a special report tells us how the financial crisis has lead to a new wave of migration, out of recession-hit developed nations. We talk to an Irish family leaving their struggling economy for a new life in the Middle East and a Kenyan graphic designer lured back to her native country by the growing economy. And how foreign workers deserting Dubai are leaving a massive gap in construction know-how.
