Kurdistan is a safe haven for many minorities, multi-culture and religions
(Gulan Media)-- When Kurdistan has flourished in recent years, this led to bring manpower from various neighbouring countries and also from Europe, contributed a variety of companies. The investments that led to capital growth and increased per capita income, especially the middle class, as well as political stability and security have led to the flow of the labour market.
These factors contributed to attract expatriate Kurds from various European countries, including America, Australia and Canada, coming to Kurdistan, whether to work or to live.
The attack of Kurdistan borders by ISIS in 2014 led to destabilized security and stability. However, the political and economic problems between Kurds and Iraqi government have not resolved yet, and have become a scenario of nineties. 1990-2004 has repeated in 2015. The flow of refugees from Kurdistan to Europe—their ages expectancy from 15 years to 35—means the drop of manpower to contribute in the development process of Kurdistan and also the loss of millions of Dollars especially in the projects of housing and education.
The political atmosphere has a direct impact on economy as it is said" politics and economy are two sides of the same coin," which shows the direct relation between the two. The deterioration of the political situation will create economic crises, not to mention regional and international factors. The brain drain is the most dangerous economic crises and has a negative impact on local revenues.
As we see now Kurdistan is a safe haven for many minorities, multi-culture and religions. The conflict in Iraq and Syria made people migrate or flee to Kurdistan. Now there are nearly a million people living in a refugee camps, and the Kurds and their government helped them materially and morally. This makes the region, with a very limited possibility, face too many crises despite of fighting the Islamic state. What makes this crisis worst is an unemployment which has become the intractable problem facing the people. When the staff salaries cut by the Iraqi government and put Kurds under pressure and led to lower the standard of living, this made people sell their possessions and migrate to European countries. This is after Merkel's statements on refugees.
The international migration of young community is a complex phenomenon and it is multi-dimensional. It is not a make of local and regional factors alone, but it is also a make of global proportions, where the globalization has a direct role in it.
When European countries set strict rules to curb immigration, and to shrink immigrant labour markets, the unemployment remained constant locally, resulting in the growing phenomenon of irregular migration. A migration of young people with all its skills and competencies represent one of the most important elements of development in short and long term, young people are the base of development and the development has been prepared for them. They waste their brain, energy and fresh talent, and this waste has its effects on the community building and development of a human being and the health and well-being—psychological, and social security.
The immigrants in general and migrant workers in particular are actors in both the transmitter and destination countries, so they contribute in the progress of these countries by their skills, their work, their knowledge, and their initiatives. Moreover, they contribute their talent and remittances to develop their countries, to improve human capital and local economies. These young people have become a key feature in enabling industrialized countries face the economic challenges of the labour market and productivity in a globalized economy. Today migration tend to adapt to changing national and regional labour markets because of technological changes, and also changes in market conditions and industrial shifts in Countries that characterized by growth in population.
Many studies have indicated that there are several reasons for migration:
• Growing technological divide between developed and emerging countries.
•The difference or huge salary gaps between nations.
• Need for skills and creativity related to the global competitiveness.
• Low return on Education, shrinking employment opportunities in the public sector and the limited employment opportunities in the private sector.
• Low scientific research in the state's priorities, particularly in comparison with the specialization of other countries for scientific research.
• The absence of a national plan to invest in scientific researches .
