Migration is commonly defined as the movement of people or person across an international boarder or

within sate away from a habitual place of residence. A process of social change when an individual,
alone or accompanied by others, because of one or more reasons of economic betterment, political
upheaval, education or other purposes, leaves one geographical area for prolonged stay or permanent
settlement in another geographical area.
The reasons behind this continual human migration are as varied as humans ourselves. People most
typically move for reasons relating to education, employment opportunities, and family. Less typical
reasons include emergency moves and personal enrichment.

Push factors are those that force the individual to move voluntarily, and in many cases, they are forced
because, the individual risk something if they stay. Push factors may include conflict, drought, famine, or
extreme religious activity.
Low economic activity and lack of work possibilities are also important push reasons for migration.
Pull factors are those factors in the destination country that attract the individual or group to leave their
home. Those qualities are known as place utility, which is the desirability of a place that attracts people.
Better economic opportunities, more jobs, and the promise of a better life often pull people into new
locations.

Sometimes individuals have ideas and perceptions about places that are not necessarily correct but are
pull factors for that individual. As people grow older and retire, many look for locations with warm
weather, peaceful and comfortable locations to spend their retirement after a lifetime of hard work and
savings. Such wonderful locales become pull factors too.

Occupation is the main economic factor of migration. for the goal of obtaining new career and
employment people tend o leave their home and migrate to different regions. predominantly rural to
urban migration.

Unemployment One important cause of migration is unemployment.


If people are not able to find a job due to high structural unemployment, these people.

Insufficient medical treatment Especially in poor developing countries, medical standards are sometimes
fairly low and diseases cannot be treated correctly.
This leads to a high death rate from diseases and therefore also predicts a short life expectancy for the
local population.

Migration is a big global problem.


Especially people who live in impoverished developing countries or people suffering from wars and
conflicts will have large incentives to migrate to affluent developing countries since they strive for a
better future.
In order to limit migration, it is therefore necessary to raise the living standard and to halt wars in poor
countries so that people lose the motive for migration.

By doing so, we can ensure a better future for many people on a global scale.
Migration can cause alienation, racism/discrimination, culture shock to a people through tough
adaptation to the new environment which may cause distorted image of self. Thus, looking on the
brighter side global migration can cause new discoveries, learning new culture and meeting new
people. It can develop one’s ability through encountering different languages culture and b elief.
