 What is Migration?
Is the movement of people from one
place to another with intentions of
settling, permanently or temporarily, at
a new location.
 Types of Migration

•Internal Migration - people moving from one area to another within one country.

•International Migration - happens when people cross borders of one country to another.
 5 Groups of International
Migration
1. Immigrants

2. Workers who stay in another country for a fixed period (at least 6 months in a year).

3. Illegal migrants

4. Migrant whose families have “petitioned” them to move to the destination country.

5. Refugees (or asylum-seekers)

 From 247 million people in 2015 to 281
million people in 2020 currently living
outside the countries of their birth (90%
moved due to economic reasons while
10% were refugees and asylum-seekers).
 Immigrants vs Emigrants
When used in the context of national populations, "immigrants" refers to foreign-
born residents who have moved to that country and "emigrants" refers to people
who have left that country to live somewhere else.

 Fifty percent of global migrants have
moved from the developing countries to the
developed zones of the world and
contribute anywhere from 40 to 80 percent
of their labor force.

Once settled, they contribute enormously to raising

the productivity of their host countries

national GDP, 2015

Contribution Percentage of GPD

United States $2 trillion 11 percent

Germany $550 billion 17 percent

United Kingdom $390 billion 14 percent

Australia $330 billion 25 percent

Migrants from China, India and Western Europe often have more success.
While those from the Middle East, North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa
face greater challenges in securing job

that go with it.

The latter accuse migrants of bringing in the culture from their home countries and
amplifying difference in linguistics and ethic customs.

Migrants unwittingly reinforce the tension by "keeping among themselves
