MIGRATION AND TERRITORIAL AND BORDER CONFLICT

MIGRATION

Internal Migration is migration within the same country. This can be from a town, province,
or region to another place. International Migration is when people move to another country
to live and settle down for a long period. People who transfer and migrate to another place are
called migrants and can be classified into two: migrant (temporary) and immigrant
(permanent)

The cause of migration is that people look for better opportunities to improve their life. They
are a big percentage of migrants that are called Economic Migrants.

There are 190 countries where numerous Filipinos work. The common reason for migration is
to look for better-paying jobs. Migrants hope that a higher salary would sustain the needs of
their families.
