Impacts of international migration
Destination
Positive
More/ steady work
There are more job opportunities in more economically flourishing countries which can provide a living, and teach a skill.
A steady job that is guaranteed to give pay allows for financial stability and safety for a family or person.
Better living
There is a chance of a better quality of living with better and more food and water, healthcare, education, housing, transport, and other resources.
Negative
Treated poorly with work
Many migrants face poor working conditions, like long hours, no flexibility in jobs, overcrowded and hot or cold conditions
(A factory in Sri Lanka)
Since migrants do small jobs, they get paid extremely low wage that is just barely enough to afford a living.

Facing discrimination
The country that the migrants are moving to can be unwelcoming to a certain race, culture, religion or just migrants in general. This can stifle opportunities for migrants and create a poor quality of life for them.
(People in SIngapore protesting against migrants entering the country)
Countries where migration is illegal can lead to migrants having to deal with harsh conditions to cross borders.
(Bulgarian border-20 mile fence)
Culture shocks
Language barriers can prevent people from being able to get around the country and get certain jobs, or education.
Not having proper requirements for housing, or renting things can cause drawbacks for having a good quality life.
Origin
Positive
Bringing things home
If one member of a family can working in a different country can send money back to their family, improving their lifestyle.
If the migrant returns back to their home country, their skill and experience can be useful within the workforce there and can contribute to developing that field.
e.g A neurosurgeon can bring the knowledge they learned in the UK back to Nigeria and help lead the neurosurgical community there to be more advanced.
More People leaving a country means less people have to share the resources within- this can be a major benefit especially for countries which are suffering from an influx of population, and lack of resources) to supply for their demand.
Resources which are now shared among less(food, water education, healthcare)
Negative
Between time difference, physical distance and a whole new life for an emigrant they contact their family far less and relationships weaken as they now have different lifestyles.
The country suffers from "Brain drain" - if many educated people leave the country after the country spent money on training them, then the country has a loss when they migrate out and don't gain that knowledge within their community.
