Identify the three waves of global migration.  List the time period, where people were moving from, where they were going, and their purpose for migration.

Your Answer:

The first wave of world migration can be traced to the European colonial era from the 16th century through the 19th century. Thousands of migrants—sailors, soldiers, traders, missionaries, administrators, and later farmer– settlers—sailed out of ports of Europe for colonies in Africa, Asia, and the Americas, establishing sea trade routes that continue to structure migration flows today.

- Thesecond wave of migration took place from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s during the Industrial Revolution, when peasants from the rural parts of Europe, fleeing poverty and famine, migrated to urban areas in Europe and North and South America.

- The third wave of migration, often labeled the postindustrial wave, is more diverse and multidirectional than previous migrations and encompasses patterns of movement since WWII. Following WWII, large numbers of Jews left Europe for Israel, as well as South and North America. Guest workers programs brought workers from the periphery of Europe—Spain, Italy, Turkey, Ireland, and Finland—to fill the labor shortages in industrialized Western Europe due to the war and declining population

What do you think Sorrells wanted you to understand between "high- and low-skilled" labor and the feminization of the workforce? 

Your Answer:

I think Sorrells mean that higher skill level of working will have a better chance to work under a better working environment. It also related to the sexism in work when they don't appreciate women skill at their best.
