  • International migration is one of the major social issues of the day. More people live outside their country of birth than at any other time in history--232 million in 2013--and this number is expected to carry on rising. The swell in migration is the result of many global trends, including growing inequalities between nations, demand for labor in countries with a falling birth rate and a rise in the number of refugees and asylum seekers. Here, Esses explains why hostility to immigration has deep roots in human psychology that will be difficult to overcome.
