Synopsis
A look at one of the biggest challenges facing our world today - migration - and how we are tackling itPeople have always moved to find work, improve their lives or to escape conflict. Most stay in their own country, but some migrate to other lands. Migrants can bring host countries a range of benefits, from filling job vacancies to making cultures more diverse, but there are also undeniable challenges, and resources can feel very stretched.How can we build a better, fairer, more equal, cleaner world? This series seeks to answer this by exploring some of the greatest challenges facing our planet today - from disease to conflict, and from the energy crisis to the plight of refugees. It explains what is already being done to meet and tackle these challenges, and explores what more could and should be done, both individually and collectively, to ensure a better future for our planet, its people and its wildlife.Taking a positive, but realistic perspective, this series aims to empower young readers by helping them understand these complex and troubling issues, calm their anxieties, and promote empathy and understanding for the many millions of people suffering from for example, poverty or inequality.Perfect for readers aged 9 and upContents:What is migration?/Why do people migrate?/Who are migrants and where do they go?/Fleeing danger: refugees and IDPs/How moving is good for migrants/Difficulties for migrants/How migration helps host countries/Problems for host countries/Helping their homelands/Brain drain and dependence/Building peace/Climate-change action/The freedom of movement debate/Glossary/Further information/IndexTitles in the series:Climate ChangeDiseaseInequalityMigrationPoverty & Food InsecurityWar & Conflict
