Let us share some key thoughts with you from a Gradido perspective:<\/p><p><strong>The core problem: systemic devaluation and outsourced perspective on life<\/strong><\/p><p>The dependence on emigration and remittances is a result of structural injustice: millions of people have to leave their homeland because their dignity, skills and work are not sufficiently valued and remunerated in their own country. The existential value of human beings is \"imported\" from outside - at the expense of family, social and cultural integrity.<\/p><p><strong>How would Gradido work here?<\/strong><\/p><ul data-tight=\"true\"><li><p><strong>Self-determined staying instead of forced leaving:<\/strong> If Gradido guarantees everyone a stable, secure income, regardless of their job or economic situation, emigration due to economic hardship loses its urgency. Families remain united, children grow up in their communities - the lost roots can grow again.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Strengthening local development:<\/strong> With a natural basic supply of resources distributed by the community to the people, villages and towns in the south and in indigenous regions gain development power. Migration becomes an option, no longer a survival strategy.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Dissolution of structural dependency:<\/strong> When value creation is not tied to the export of cheap labor and money transfers from abroad, it also heals the dignity, identity and sovereignty of a society. Productive, creative and caring work can grow and flourish locally.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Social and economic balance:<\/strong> The enormous divide between \"poor recipients\" and \"migrant providers\" is eliminated. Every person is seen as a valuable part of the community, not as someone whose life plan depends on how much money he\/she receives from afar.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Healing on all levels<\/strong><\/p><p>Gradido would enable Mexico to understand and promote its people as its greatest resource. The country would no longer be characterized by global migration, but by regional renewal and the richness of solidarity. Peace, identity and social warmth would return, and the country would become less dependent on external and unpredictable influences.<\/p><div><hr \/><\/div><p>With Gradido, the bitter fate of being forced into migration out of existential need could be overcome. Families, communities and villages could flourish and develop their full potential - supported by dignity, security and confidence.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arbeitsmigration und Geldr\u00fcckfl\u00fcsse Hauptseite: Mexiko 1.
