Displacement and Migration Studies

Displacement and migration studies explore why people relocate from one place to another, whether temporarily or permanently. Displacement refers to situations where individuals are forced to leave their homes due to factors like conflict, natural disasters, or development projects. Migration includes voluntary movements, such as seeking better job opportunities or education. These studies analyze the social, economic, political, and environmental causes behind these movements, the impacts on communities, and how they shape societies. Overall, they help us understand human mobility patterns and develop policies to manage and support affected populations effectively.
