Circular Migration

Circular migration refers to the process where individuals move back and forth between their home country and another country for work or study. This pattern allows them to take advantage of better job opportunities or educational programs abroad while maintaining ties to their home community. Circular migration can benefit both the migrants, who gain skills and experience, and their home countries, which may receive remittances or other benefits. It differs from permanent migration, as individuals return home periodically instead of settling permanently in a new location.
