Sending and receiving countries
In the context of migration and labor, "sending countries" are those that export workers, meaning people leave these countries to find jobs elsewhere. These are often nations facing economic challenges, leading their citizens to seek better opportunities abroad. "Receiving countries," on the other hand, are those that import workers, attracting individuals from sending countries to fill labor shortages or support their economies. This dynamic can enhance cultural exchange but may also lead to challenges in integration and policy issues regarding immigration.
