  • The Foreign-Born Population and Its Effects on the U.S. Economy and the Federal Budget—An Overview January 2020
    The Foreign-Born Population and Its Effects on the U.S. Economy and Congressional Budget Office Nonpartisan Analysis for the U.S. Congress the Federal Budget—An Overview January 2020 The Foreign-Born Population About 47 million people living in the United States in 2018 were born in other countries. Roughly three-quarters of those people were here legally. They included naturalized citizens, lawful permanent residents (who are also known as green-card holders), refugees, people who were granted asylum, and people who were temporarily admitted for a specific purpose, such as extended work or study. (The people accounted for in this document do not include visitors for business or pleasure.) The remaining one-quarter, or about 11 million people, were here illegally, having either remained here when their temporary legal status expired or crossed the border illegally. For more than a decade, the number of people remaining when their temporary status expired has exceeded the number crossing the border illegally, mostly because the number of illegal border crossings has declined.

  • REPORT of the CITY of DUBAI the City of Dubai Prides Itself on Being
    Packer Collegiate Institute Brooklyn, New York Cities at the Vanguard: Migration and the Metropolis 3.14.19 REPORT OF THE CITY OF DUBAI The city of Dubai prides itself on being a city of immigrants. As of the 2016 census, there were 200 different nationalities living and working in Dubai and foreign-born migrants made up 85% of the population. Immigrants contribute much of the needed labor to the workforce and constitute 95% of the private sectors. Indeed, it is because of the work of immigrants that Dubai grew into the modern, beautiful city it is today. Accordingly, the city and its people welcome immigrants and work to promote a peaceful coexistence and harmony in society. COMMITTEE ON LEADERSHIP AND GOVERNANCE Migrants are not permitted to be involved in any capacity when it comes to politics. The politics and opinions of the United Arab Emirates are reserved to the great Emirati people. No foreign ideas can permeate those of true Emirati citizens. Every Emirati citizen gets to live and voice their opinions as they like. Migrants are not Emirati citizens and therefore are entirely removed from all forms of government. We are one of the seven constituent monarchies in the UAE. The leader of Dubai is also the prime minister of the UAE. Thus, there is a lot of communication between the Dubai government and the federal government. Because a lot of migrant workers are entering through the Kafala system, the city and the state are fairly in agreement on that system. Thus, it is the city’s job to uphold those values and communicate with the federal government.

  • Regional Groupings
    THE ITC STYLE GUIDE workload workstation rldwide worthwhile Regional Groupings 49 THE ITC STYLE GUIDE Country groups by region ITC staff and external writers frequently have questions about the use of regional groupings, and which countries apply. In all cases, ITC writers should use the proper country names. These are listed separately in this guide. Key terminology to use For regional groupings by development level, the UN uses the following broad terminology: developing countries, developed countries and transition economies. There is no established convention to designate developed and developing countries. Least developed countries (which currently total 47) are a subset of developing countries. Transition economies are in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Economies is a term used in economic writing among international organizations that refers to national economies. It is often used as a synonym for country. If you are writing in business terms, use the word “country” and not “economy.” Managing differences in terminology As part of the UN system, ITC follows UN practice. However, discrepancies exist between lists provided by the UN Statistical Division and UNCTAD. For example, UNCTAD notes that UNIDO uses the term ‘emerging industrial economies’, which is not used by the UN Statistical Division or by UNCTAD. This edition of the ITC Style Guide recommends that the listing from the UN Statistical Division be used as the first reference source. The list of countries and territories is included in full. Please use the list with care. Countries are sensitive regarding their regional groupings. Consult with the Communications and Events team, or the regional country offices in the ITC Division of Country Programmes if the lists in this edition do not address your writing needs.
