    Topic: Migration

    By Amina Mohsin

    Introduction
    Migration is affected among other things by political, economic, environmental, social,
    demographic, technical, and health catastrophes. Political variables include war, violations of
    human rights, political instability, totalitarian administrations, and violence linked to elections.
    Among the economic factors are poverty, unemployment, low salaries, poor working
    conditions, few employment prospects, inflation, and debt. Among environmental factors
    include some natural disasters, climate change, and environmental degradation. Social
    factors comprise injustice, discrimination, persecution of culture and religion, family reunion,
    education, employment, and access to healthcare. Other factors include changes in
    population, technical advancement, globalisation, and health issues. These elements often
    interact and influence one another, so migration becomes a complex and multifaceted topic.
