Law of wealth effect migration

In different wealth times, population migration always follows three basic laws: first, population migration always flows from resource-poor countries to resource-rich countries; Second, population migration always flows from densely populated countries to sparsely populated countries; The third law is that the main body of floating population is the outstanding population with the most entrepreneurial ability.

Then, what is the wealth effect of population migration under the control of these three mobility laws on the places of immigration and emigration? The most famous immigrant country in history is the United States. The history of American prosperity is not only a history of entrepreneurship and war, but also a history of attracting immigrants' wealth to continue to flow in.

From the discovery of navigation to the end of 18, more than 2 million Europeans moved to the new world. These people not only brought advanced science and technology, venture capital and production tools, but also bought more than 10000 slaves from Africa and other places, thus making North America rapidly evolve from the primitive hunting economy era to the agricultural (plantation) economy era, and mining mines, resulting in modern processing industry and corresponding. Immigration triggered the first wealth explosion in North America.

From the middle of19th century to the middle of 20th century, tens of millions of Europeans immigrated to the United States. Especially during World War II, a large number of Jewish businessmen and scientists persecuted in Europe immigrated to the United States. After World War II, the United States became the world's largest economic power, and accordingly became the preferred destination for international immigrants. Europeans, Mexicans and Asians all rushed to immigrate to the United States, which led to the promulgation of the new immigration law 1952. According to the new immigration law of 1952, from 195 1 to 1955, an average of nearly19.5 million illegal immigrants are deported from the United States every year. 1965 after the implementation of the new immigration law, the number of illegal immigrants from Europe to the United States began to decrease, and illegal immigrants from Asia increased even faster.

The above-mentioned immigrants to the United States, whether free immigrants in the early stage or legal or illegal immigrants in the later stage, are at least mature laborers, and more immigrants come to this country with technology, skills and capital. Although the increasing population will bring some social problems such as employment pressure and public security, almost all immigrants have contributed to the wealth growth of this country.

Moreover, as an immigrant country, the United States not only gathered European Protestants and entrepreneurs in the early days of the industrial revolution, but also gathered outstanding elements from all ethnic groups in the world, such as Jews and China. These high-quality scientists, entrepreneurs, businessmen and laborers are the fundamental reasons why the United States has become the world's wealth gathering place.

In addition to the United States, countries that introduced a large number of immigrants in history also included colonial Australia, New Zealand and South America. Because of the introduction of entrepreneurial population and venture capital from developed regions such as Europe, immigrants have created the economic prosperity of these countries. After World War II, due to the reconstruction of Europe, a large number of immigrants were needed, initially from within Europe, such as Irish immigrants to Britain, Italians, Portuguese and Poles to France and Nordic countries. Later, because the number could not be met, they began to immigrate from their respective colonial countries. Thus, from Maghreb to Guyana, from India to Maluku Islands, a large number of young and middle-aged labor resources were sent to Europe. 1970, the number of immigrants attracted by Europe increased from 4 million in 1950 to10/10,000.

In addition to the typical early colonial countries such as the United States, Canada and Australia, there is also a typical example that immigration has promoted the wealth growth of population-importing countries. In just a few decades, Jews gathered in Israel from all over the world built a rich country on that barren land.
