D. Synthesis. Create a situation or a scenario on how the following factors can
affect migration. Justify your answer by providing a specific example. (5 pts each)
Factors of Migration Effects
Employment The impacts of immigration on the labor
market critically depend on the skills of
migrants, the skills of existing workers,
and the characteristics of the host
economy. They are also likely to differ
between the short and long run when the
economy and labor demand can adjust to
the increase in labor supply.
Immigration affects the labor supply, as it
increases the pool of workers in certain
sectors of the economy. At the same
time, immigration is likely to increase the
demand for labor, as migrants expand
consumer demand for certain goods and
services. That is, immigration may
increase competition for existing jobs in
certain occupational sectors but it can
also create new jobs.
Education The potential negative effects of migration
on the educational outcome of the school-
aged children that are left behind in rural
areas when one or both of their parents
out-migrate to cities for work. Children in
migrant households are less likely to be
attending school and complete fewer total
years of schooling than children in non-
migrant households. These results in
significantly less parental supervision of
school attendance and the loss of any
positive influence through learning at
home. The students may have less time
to spend on studying because they have
to do more housework when parents out-
migrate.
Peace & Order Most common cause of migration is to
 find peace and order in the environment.
The wars and other forms of violent
conflict involving state or non-state actors
produce refugees and other forced
migrants, who may themselves also
become national or transnational actors
within the political economy of wars and
other forms of violent conflict. Wars of
different kinds (invasions, civil war, third-
party interventions) and of differing
intensity may produce different migration
trajectories and, in some cases, no
migration at all but instead the opposite,
involuntary immobility. Displacement is
often about massive humanitarian
suffering and loss, but it can also be
about coping, resilience,
and emplacement in new localities. And
those who flee may be better or worse off
than those who remain behind.
Political Stability (e.g. leadership & The lack of political liberties and rights,
governance) and endemic corruption act as push
factors for migrants seeking greater
freedoms. State persecution involves the
harassment, discrimination and torture of
people who disagree with their
government, have minority religious
beliefs or ethnic backgrounds. Because
conditions in their country are unsafe,
these people are forced to migrate to
safer countries. Political instability caused
by cultural diversity causes people of a
certain cultural affiliation to move within
the country or away from their country
altogether
Geography (e.g. climate, landscape, Environmental factors like droughts,
terrain, location, etc.) natural disasters, and climate all
influenced human decisions about where
to migrate. Changes in the ecological
environment have the potential to worsen
food and water insecurity in various parts
of the globe. Limited access to food and
water resources may push people to
migrate to countries where these
resources are more readily available.
Pages 117-118 (Answer A, B, C)
A. Essay. Answer all the questions on the space provided for. (5 pts each)

1. According to the Brundtland Commission “…many present development trends

leave increasing numbers of people poor and vulnerable, while at the same time
degrading the environment.” Present your own perspective on development that
will not only serve the present generation but also the future generation.

Enabling Access to affordable and clean energy. Energy is the most critical resource to
achieving most of the sustainable development goals. Energy plays a vital role in
mitigating poverty through advancements in industrialization, education, water supply
and health and fighting climate change. This sustainable development goal focuses on
developing and expanding renewable energy resources such as sun, wind, hydropower,
liquid and solid biofuels, biogas and geothermal. These renewable sources of energy
don’t emit greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere and so are ideal for the environment
and human health.

2. How are individuals in their own context to be persuaded or made to act in the
common interest of all people concerned?

The culture must value a global benefit more than a local one. And the responsibility
towards providing and sustaining resources for the future must be of more value than
profit in the present must be developed. These are very hard to do because it requires
an element of self-sacrifice be adopted by the present society. The value of the future is
something that is not held in high esteem when it comes to creating a profit, or to living
with convenience. The general self-focus of each generation is understandable, but as
history has shown in other areas – it can be expanded to include a sense of
responsibility towards futures unknown that will allow for different choices to me made in
the present.

3. The “greenhouse effect” due to burning of fossil fuels could increase average
global temperatures. This and other factors such as industrial gases are enough
to cause shift in agricultural production areas, raise sea levels to flood coastal
cities, disrupt national economies and the oceans’ food chain, and into
underground water tables beyond reach of cleansing (Brundtland Commission
Report, 1987). If this trend will continue, what would you predict as the impact of
“greenhouse effect” to the way of life of the people?
The problem we now face is that human activities – particularly burning fossil fuels
(coal, oil and natural gas), agriculture and land clearing – are increasing the
concentrations of greenhouse gases. This is the enhanced greenhouse effect, which is
contributing to warming of the Earth. The United Nation's Food and Agriculture
Organization states that climate change is raising serious doubts about food
availability: in its last biennial report on the state of world food and agriculture, it warns
that a decline in agricultural production would result in food shortages,  most severely
affecting sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The spread of diseases, in addition to the
problems derived directly from pollution, the World Health Organization (WHO) states
that global warming will cause infectious diseases such as malaria, cholera or dengue
to spread to many more areas of the planet.  On the other hand, extreme heat will
increase and aggravate cardiovascular and respiratory problems.

B. Data Analysis. Analyze the data on per capita food losses and waste, kg/year
below and answer the questions provided. (5 pts each)
 1. Interpret the data and its implications on food security per region.
As what the graph shows the North America and Oceana has the same average
production of retailing in the other countries, but they have the most percentage of
consumers. And it followed by the Europe and Industrialised Asia. The countries in Sub-
Saharan Africa, North, West and Central Asia, South and Southeast Asia and Lating
America has just enough production to retailing.
2. How do the data provide implications to global food security?
These data shows that there may be enough food produced but if there is no equal
distribution due to disparity in purchasing power, food security will still a pose problem.
 C. Assessment. Discuss the interplay of variables below. (10 pts)

Access to food is essential to optimal development and function in children and adults.
Ending poverty and to promote food security. The quality of food that people can access
is important, particularly for the poorest people, but also for people with limited
information about the nutrition. When food prices rise, or the real incomes of poor
people fall for other reasons, there is a risk of hidden hunger, where people switch to
lower-priced foods that fail to adequately meet their nutritional needs. Ensuring that food
is always safe to eat raises a different, but important, set of challenges. To provide
information to help poor people make better choices about the food they eat. Food
security exists when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to
sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for
an active and healthy life.
