1. ILM or international labor immigration refers to the movement of a labor force from one country to
another. It is defined as the transfer of people from one state to another for the purpose of finding
work. Orderly and well-managed labor migration can alleviate labor scarcity, facilitate mobility, and
add to the human capital stock in countries confronting labor shortages.
2. Poor diets and greater psychiatric disorders can result from disrupted family life. When expected
future returns to education are low due to migration predictions, it may lower educational incentives.
For family members left behind, especially women, migration might limit labor force participation.
