An increasing amount of people are emigrating from third world to western countries to fill openings in special job fields like engineering, computing, and medicine. Some think that by encouraging this immigration, rich countries are stealing from the poor. Others feel that this is only a natural movement. Explain your opinion and why.

An increasing number of skilled individuals from developing

countries

are moving to developed

countries

such

as the US, Canada and Western Europe for better job opportunities. Some argue that

this

movement is depriving third-world

countries

of their talented citizens

while

others argue that

this

is an expected event for

such

individuals. In

this

essay, I will give my opinion on

this

topic and explain the reasons behind it. First-world nations have a population crisis where most of the citizens are above the age of fifty and

this

creates a shortage of manpower in most occupations.

For example

, during the COVID-19 pandemic, The UK and Canada had a shortage of hospital staff in most emergency rooms and intensive care units which caused pressure on the governments in the UK and Canada. Under the circumstances, both

countries

came up with fast immigration plans to bring in medical staff to help with the health crisis.

Although

it is difficult for a person to leave their home, building a better future for oneself and their family is a priority for most individuals in developing nations

such

as India and Egypt where it is hard for a person working in engineering,

for example

, to provide for a family of five people.

As a result

, people working in high-demand jobs

such

as health professions and engineering seek viable chances in a new country.

For example

, most of the nursing staff in Saudi Arabia are from either India or the Philippines and the nurses spend most of their lives working in a different country which is far from their homes and families for the sole purpose of providing for their loved ones. They are able to send their children to schools or universities, build their own homes, and cover the medical bills for their parents.
