Study of Migration

The study of migration examines how and why people move from one place to another. It includes the causes of migration, such as economic opportunities, conflict, or environmental changes, and the effects on both sending and receiving communities. Researchers look at patterns, trends, and policies related to migration, and consider social, political, and cultural impacts. This field helps us understand the complexities of human movement, the challenges faced by migrants, and the benefits they bring to new areas, contributing to a comprehensive view of global demographics and societal change.
