According
to the migration theory, the perspective of the modeler can lead to different
definitions. Equilibrium can be achieved after the simulation has stabilized
and no occurrence of unexpected spikes in the mean livability of a given
population. Another perspective of equilibrium is when survival expectancy
across the different group populations in the environment levels up, or when
people (agents) stop moving.
The
model created for this research might never come to a stop. The expectation by
the model is that the population will grow forever. This is related to how migration
happens in the real world. Migration has never stopped in the real world. Even
if violent acts and social discrimination had to stop, the movement would never
stop, because people are always moving to different places hoping for a
brighter future. This influences the distribution of wealth. This movement by
the people is an ongoing process, and it can achieve a notional equilibrium.
The
model begins with a roughly with no social identity discrimination. The people then
wander around the landscape gathering education and seeking jobs as much as
they can. Each person attempts to move in the direction where they can gain
better education and jobs. Each time tick, each person tries to gain a certain
level of education. People also have a life expectancy. When their lifespan
runs out, or they run out of basic needs, they die and produce a single
offspring. The offspring have a zero level of education and no occupation,
ranging from the poorest person's amount of grain to the richest person's
amount of grain. (There is no inheritance of wealth.)
From
the results obtained above, the variables used are education, occupation and
income range. The equilibrium to solve the social identity problem in economics
appears when the number of educated individuals is equal to the number of
people employed in different sectors. If the income range is also high, there
is a possibility of bringing about socio-economic equality.
The
number on the education slider represents the number of educated people, while
the number of the occupation slider represents the number of occupations
available to people, while the income indicates the number of people with
income. Therefore, the three variables are very important in attaining the
desired equilibrium.
The
government should ensure that more children are sent to school. In this way,
people will no longer be categorized based on their occupation, but on their
education and their professional qualification. People who have a low level of
education, for instance, primary school, will have to be employed in positions
that match their qualifications. A degree holder is supposed to take up a
higher position than a high school person or a primary school person. For a
long time, the caste system worked based on the reservation system, where
people who are in power, would bring their relatives or people from their caste
to take up positions they don’t deserve.
