Topic: Global Migration
WHAT IS GLOBAL MIGRATION?
➢ Global migration a situation in which people go to live in foreign countries, especially in order to find work.
However, the reasons why people migrate diffeer depending on an individual’s situation. (Cambridge Dictionary)
➢ How people migrate depends greatly on its nation’s current immigration laws and the safety of the route itself.
➢ While some people are able to travel by airplane or train, others do not have the same luxury.
➢ Emigrants, when a person freely chooses to move to another place. It might be temporary or permanent. Ofteen
move to resettlle as a family, to fulfill a job placement, or as a reprieve from situations of injustice and war.
➢ Transportation is one of the examples of how migration can take drastically diffeerent forms.
WHY DO PEOPLE MOVE?
Global migration can be understood as a cause and effeect relationship, though the causes are just as numerous as their
effeects. People move across international borders for a variety of reasons, including (though not limited to):
✔ Safety
✔ Natural Disaster
✔ Political Conflict
✔ Education
✔ Family
✔ Career
✔ Economic bettlerment
THE PUSH-PULL FACTOR
➢ it is a factors in the destination country that attlract people to a new place largely because of the opportunities
presented in the new location were not available to them previously.
➢ Example, a family moving from a country with minimal job opportunities for a successful career.
➢ The beneficial elements that the new country presents encourages people to migrate there in order to seek a
bettler life for their families.
➢ A push factor refers to conditions which force people to leave their homes.
➢ A person who would typically move because of distress(safety, natural disaster, or political conflict).
➢ Places that experience drought and famine, war conflicts, and/or high unemployment would contribute to the
push factors that trigger for that country’s residents.
DOES MIGRATION IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE?
➢ Whether individuals migrate due to push factors, there are undeniable benefits involved in adapting to a new
country.
➢ Some benefits are simply fun and exciting: learning a new culture and experiencing new opportunities, such as
tasting new foods and gettling to know a diffeerent approach to communication, or immersing yourself in the new
cultural activities, can be exciting and enriching
