Abstract
This paper will explore the role labor migration has played in Canada's economic development, and more generally, how it contributes to economic development at large.

Abstract
This paper deals with four migration theories and how they incorporate gender as a factor in labour migration. It looks at how although some theories ignore half the population (i.e. women), some dismiss women's 'home' work or do not take into account the differing reasons for men and women to migrate.
From the Paper
"One of the original theories on migration is the neo classical economics position incorporating macro and micro theories. The basic premise for the macro theory is that international and national migration is caused by the geographical differences in both the supply and demand of labour. Running alongside the flow of labour is the flow of investment capital from capital rich to capital poor countries. This movement of capital also includes human capital, i.e. highly skilled workers like managers, technicians and other skilled workers. The micro level theory states that it is individual rational actors who decide to migrate 'because a cost-benefit calculation leads them to expect a positive net return, usually monetary, from movement.'

The Consequences of Labor Migration, 2006.
A review of the advantages and disadvantages of labor migration in the European Union.

Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of labor migration, a matter that has become of pressing importance to many Europeans. On the one hand, many European citizens feel that labor migration is vitally important because it allows countries that are suffering from a labor shortage to make up that shortage through foreign workers. The paper further discusses the flip side of this argument, saying that other people are uncomfortable with so many foreign-born workers flooding across their borders. This paper then examines the consequences of labor migration upon towns, communities, countries and even geographic regions like the European Union.

Abstract
This paper looks at how international labour migration from Poland to Western Europe has proved to be an effective strategy in overcoming some of the multiple problems of transformation after the communist system collapsed. It argues that Poles generally have access only to the secondary sector of labour economy. It also examines how bilateral intergovernmental agreements, official statistical data and survey results suggest that the labour flows to the primary labour markets are limited due to the structural constraints of European economies as well as migration policies and regulations of receiving societies.

From the Paper
"The complexity and diversification of international migration has resulted in the fact that there is no single theory or model which would be able to explain the phenomenon of migration satisfactorily and to capture dynamics of the process and conditions related to its various phases. However, different models were adopted in the attempt to reveal and predict various specific aspects associated with it. Among the most important theories which aim to explain causes of international migration, its development, and why it tends to sustain, are the neo-classical economics, the new economics of migration, segmented labour market theory, world system theory, social capital theory, and cumulative causation. The latter models accentuate different aspects of this phenomenon."

Abstract
This essay discusses immigration, immigrants and migration patterns in Canada. The paper goes through historical newspapers from 1891 to 1960 and reports on what they said about immigration, immigrants and migration in Canada. The paper looks at the changing pattern of migration over the seventy year period that the newspaper articles span.
From the Paper
"Immigration, Immigrants and Migration Patterns in Canada Canada is a multinational country known for its diversity. For example, in The Regional Geography of Canada Robert M. Bone states, "Canada is a multicultural society with more than 200 ethnic groups recorded in the 2001 census". Most Canadians are so used to this level of diversity that they fail to recognize that it is a relatively recent development. When Canada was a young country it primary culture was extremely xenophobic. This meant that because foreigners were not well liked or widely accepted in Canadian society. This is because the majority of Canadians at this point were of British origin."

Abstract
This paper explores student inter-provincial migration in Canada. Particularly, it looks at how student "comfort levels" vis-a-vis re-location, provincial size, economic factors and even social considerations such as "warmth" and language all shape where students will go when they pursue a post-secondary education. The paper reveals that while a myriad of factors come into play when students determine where they will go for an education, certain provinces tend to attract (or not attract) students for certain economic and social reasons that cannot be ignored.
From the Paper
"To close, the last several pages have explored what determines the robustness and direction of inter-provincial migration within Canada among students. While a host of reasons will guide the decision-making processes for students, it is hard to avoid the finding that healthy regional economies, an absence of cultural or linguistic barriers, and relative geographic isolation all precipitate inward and outward migration trends. Ultimately, the more a province can cultivate an image of itself as being a place of opportunity and of relatively few non-school barriers to learning, the greater its chances of recruitment success will be."

Canada, Movies and Migration, 2007.
A critical analysis of two movies on migration: "Who Gets In?" and "Freedom's Land: Canada and the Underground Railroad".

Abstract
The paper discusses how the two films "Freedom's Land: Canada and the Underground Railroad" and "Who Gets In?" present distinct views on issues of migration and oppression from the perspective of the Canadian context. The paper reviews both works with respect to their presentation, their major themes and an evaluation of their respective effectiveness. The paper argues that "Freedom's Land" is notably lacking in critical focus on its major themes relating to Canada's historical role of receiving slaves. In contrast, the paper asserts that "Who Gets In?" is more effective and powerful, due to its close critical focus on its major themes of bureaucracy and selectivity.
From the Paper
"Freedom's Land: Canada and the Underground Railroad is a production of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that attempts to depict the history of Canada's involvement in the Underground Railroad that, in the 19th century, assisted many African American slaves in escaping from the oppression in the slave states of the American south. The film is structured in cohesive sections, beginning with a general depiction of the institution of slavery, and then progressing through to Canada's role as a refuge for slaves fleeing the United States, and featuring as a core element a lengthy depiction of the failed "rebellion" of John Brown in his raid on Harper's Ferry that was a major event during the period leading up to the American Civil War."

Abstract
The face of labor in Canada is quickly changing. The number of blue-collar jobs has been declining for years in such areas as resource industry, construction, manufacturing, and so on, where unionization has traditionally been the most common. Present and future jobs in the so-called post-industrial society are to be found in sales and services, especially in the private sector. These jobs are typically diverse, part time, poorly paid, and thus difficult, if not impossible, to organize. This paper will look at the effects of the present and emerging economy on organized labour in Canada.

Women in Canada's Labor Force: 1880-1920, 2002.

Abstract
This paper will clearly demonstrate that Canadian society between 1880 and 1920 saw significant enlargement in terms of women's gender roles, but even at the end of WWI, women's participation in the labor force was perceived to be a temporary necessity. As the wartime economy returned to its civilian form, most Canadians expected gender roles to return to their previous (im)balance. The seeds for the emancipation of women, however, had been sewn and it was only a matter of time before they would grow.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the history of the settlement and development of the northern colonies of the USA, and the foreign merchants and adventurists that settled these colonies, venturing to the 'new country' in search of a better life. These foreign immigrants were mainly representatives of middle and lower classes of England and continental European states, who dreamed about economic opportunities and religious freedoms.
From the Paper
"Colonists in the New World received religious freedoms on the hand with autonomy from metropolitan government. Immigrants were basically representatives of middle and lower classes of England and continental European states (merchants and farmers), who dreamed about economic opportunities and religious freedoms. First Puritan colonies in Massachusetts appeared in the year of 1628 , as Massachusetts received certain privileges together with Virginia. Religious motives played the key role as well in the foundation of Maryland colony as Lord Baltimore, a very rich catholic wanted to found a religious shelter for his coreligionists and principality for himself. Between colonies of New England and Maryland there were territories which were later colonized by Dutchmen and Swedes. Swedes founded Delaware colony in 1638. Central article of Dutch colonization was town of New Amsterdam founded in 1626 (future city of New York). Local New Netherlands and New Sweden were later reorganized into 4 English colonies: New Jersey, New York, Delaware and Pennsylvania. "

"Introduction
This research examines the status of labor unions in Canada and the United States. The purpose of this examination to assess the extent to which unionism in the two countries is either converging or diverging.
Significance of the Issue
Canada, Mexico, and the United States negotiated the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in the early-1990s, and the probability is strong that NAFTA will become effective on the first day of 1994. In the late-1980s, Canada and the United States negotiated the Free Trade..."

Labour's Labor, 2006.
A review of an article discussing the impact and damage of WWII on the British economy.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how following World War II, the British economy, its social structures, and its infrastructure, were all considerably damaged by the years of war over the European continent. Unions, as Dorfman points out, entered the post-World War II era as one of the nation's policy focal points in what would otherwise have been a political vacuum (par.1). It further discusses how in the decades following the war, Unions provided the citizenry, in the form of workers, with adequate representation within the structures of government and ensured that many policies and programs were enacted that would ensure not only work related rights and assurance but also social programs. The Unions within Britain for three decades held considerable sway over policy decisions as well as policy formulation.
