Human migration is the movement of people from one place to

another with the intention of settling, permanently or temporarily, at a new

location. Some people move in search of work or economic opportunities,
to join family, or to study. Others move to escape conflict, persecution,
terrorism, or human rights violations. Still, others move in response to the
adverse effects of climate change, natural disasters, or other
environmental factors.

Immigration can give substantial economic benefits – a more flexible

labour market, greater skills base, increased demand, and a greater
diversity of innovation. However, immigration is also controversial. It is
argued immigration can cause issues of overcrowding, congestion, and
extra pressure on public services.

A few migrants must be having a hard time while the others are
settled. Migrants are often faced with challenges of being accepted by host
communities, hence the difficulties in communal integration, harmonious
living, commerce, cultural practices, religious beliefs, language barriers,
agricultural practices, economic activities, social integration, pastoralism,
and others.

Migration boosts the working-age population. Migrants arrive with

skills and contribute to the human capital development of receiving
countries. Migrants also contribute to technological progress.
Understanding these impacts is important if our societies are to usefully
debate the role of migration.

ASPECTS OF MIGRATION
This includes food, water, sanitation, shelter, health and safety care, and
psychosocial support. The strengthening of mechanisms that allow the
temporary or permanent protection of migrants, especially the most
vulnerable, is a job that requires international cooperation to be effective.
