Emigration
Over the past several decades, close to a million Jamaicans have emigrated especially to the United Kingdom the United States and Canada. The great number of Jamaicans living abroad has become known as the “ Jamaican diaspora.” Most Jamaican emigrants have followed a path first to the UK. The other emigrants who don’t go to the UK go to other common wealthy countries such as Canada. Jamaicans migrate directly to Canada, United States, other Caribbean nations.
Reasons for Emigration Reasons for emigration from Jamaica during the major periods of Jamaican diaspora were job opportunities. Ample immigration opportunities in Canada, the USA and the UK also helped, providing Jamaicans with a thriving community of their kinsmen to join.
Emigration: For many years people have been emigrating to the United States of Amarica. The USA is the most emigrated spot from Canada. Still not to many people emigrat from Canada.

Such as Usain Bolt who has won 6 olympic gold medals and 5 gold, world championships. World record holder in the 100m for men at 9.58s and holds the olympic record at 9.63s.

Human Development Index
Things That Could Affect Jamaica's HDI
1. I think that more atractions could improve
Jamaica's HDI because it would make the GDP
per capita higher. It would also make the literacy
rate higher because more people may migrate to
Jamaica.
2. I think that better health care could improve
Jamaica's HDI. I think this because with better
health care comes better life expectancy. With
better life expectancy comes more jobs and a
better literacy rate. All of these reasons will help
Jamaica's HDI.
3. I think if Jamaica had a better economy then they
would have a bigger HDI. I think this because if the economy was better then more people would immigrate
to Jamaica. Which would make a better GDP, better living
standerds, and better life expectancy.
Things That Could Improve Canada's HDI
1. I think if we had healther eating habits
then we could have a longer life expectancy
which would help are HDI. To have a longer life expectancy than we have to eat the right amount of food groups.
2. I think Canada could give more money to education
so that the literacy rate will be higher. For example
they could bye faster and more scientific computers
for some of the schools. They could bye some laptops or tablets so it would be easier to learn.
3. If we had more jobs for people to take
then we would have less people unemployed
and less people under the poverty line. If we
did have more jobs then it would improve
the GDP and the living standerd's. Then the
HDI will improve.
Poverty is a factor affecting the HDI in Jamaica
because when to many people are below the poverty
line it makes the GDP lower which makes the HDI lower.
Health is a factor affecting the HDI because
if the people arn't healthy then they cant
concentrate on there schooling or jobs. Which
affects the literacy rate and the GDP.
Education affects the HDI because when
the education is bad then the literacy rate
is lower. Which makes the HDI lower.
Life expectancy is a factor of the HDI because if people
don't live as long then the GDP isn't as high and the
literacy rate isn't as high. So it all affects the HDI.
The GDP affects Canada's high HDI. GDP affects it because if the GDP is low then the HDI is going to be
lower.
If Canada is a free country then it
affects the HDI because the people
have rights.
Education affects the HDI because it
affects the literacy rate. When the literacy
rate is lower it reduces the HDI.
Life Expectancy is an affect that affects the
HDI because the life expectancy is part of the
HDI so when the life expectancy is lower then
the HDI is lower.
Health is a huge affect on the HDI
because it affects the life expectancy,
education and the GDP. When we are
unhealthy then we don't live as long so
it affects the HDI.
