How unequal flows of people, money, ideas and technology can promote stability, growth and development but also cause inequalities, conflicts and injustices
Money, people, ideas and technology move around the world unevenly. These flows can drive growth and development, but they also create winners and losers.
Real World
Filipino workers in Saudi Arabia send home around $10 billion in remittances annually, boosting household incomes in the Philippines, yet those same workers often face exploitative labour conditions with few legal protections.
Exam Focus
Balance every positive flow outcome with a negative one — examiners reward explicitly contrasting impacts rather than one-sided answers.
