In addition, he will examine trends in high-skilled migration in key labor markets.<\/p>\n<p>As the number of international migrants reaches new highs, people around the world show little appetite for more migration \u2013 both into and out of their countries, according to a Pew Research Center survey of 27 nations conducted in the spring of 2018. However, roughly eight-in-ten U.S. adults (78%) support encouraging highly skilled people to immigrate and work in the U.S., a percentage that roughly matches or is exceeded by Sweden, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany and Australia. In this presentation, Dr. Ruiz will explore these findings and discuss some newly published research on international attitudes toward migrants in major destination and sending countries.<\/p>\n<h4>About the Speaker<\/h4>\n<p>Dr. Ruiz studies the international movement of people across borders, the impact of migration on sending and receiving countries, high-skilled immigration to the U.S., and comparative immigrant visa systems. Prior to joining the Center, Ruiz was a migration expert at the Brookings Institution, the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank. Dr. Ruiz is a trained political scientist with a specialization in political economy. He received his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a master\u2019s degree from Oxford University, and a bachelor\u2019s degree from the University of California, Berkeley.<\/p>\n<h4>Sponsors<\/h4>\n<p>Institute for Asian Migration, Waseda University<br \/>\nTop Global University Project,\u00a0\u00a0Waseda University, Center for Positive\/Empirical Analysis of Political Economy<\/p>\n<h4>Organizers<\/h4>\n<p>Gracia Liu-Farrer (Graduate School of Asia-Pacific Studies)<br \/>\nMichiko Ueda (Faculty of Political Science and Economics)<\/p>\n<h4>Inquiries<\/h4>\n<p>Michiko Ueda (<a href=\"mailto:mueda@waseda.jp\">mueda@waseda.jp<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Event information Title: Trends and Attitudes towards Migration Globally Speaker: Dr. Neil Ruiz, Associate Dir [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5175,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[83,99],"class_list":["post-5176","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-events-en","tag-en-eape"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5176","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5176"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5176\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5178,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5176\/revisions\/5178"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5175"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5176"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5176"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/sgu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5176"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
