Sociology of Migration

Sociology of migration studies how and why people move from one place to another, focusing on the social, economic, and cultural factors involved. It examines the impacts of migration on individuals, families, and communities, including issues like identity, integration, and inequality. Researchers explore motivations behind migration—such as seeking better job opportunities or escaping conflict—as well as the effects on both the migrants and the societies they leave and enter. By understanding these dynamics, sociologists aim to inform policies and promote social cohesion in diverse environments.
