ABSTRACT
The term ‘Migration’ describes the flow of people from one location to another, frequently across regional or national borders. Numerous considerations, including social, political, economic, and environmental ones, may be the driving forces behind this shift, which may be voluntary or involuntary. A person may migrate temporarily or permanently, within a country or internationally, voluntarily or under duress, for economic reasons, or as a refugee. Individuals or groups may relocate for a variety of reasons, including to pursue better employment prospects, to flee political persecution or violence, to spend time with family, or simply to live in a higher quality of life. Significant social, economic, and political, outcomes flow from migration, affecting both the migrant communities and the societies they enter and depart. It may significantly affect a community’s social and cultural structure in addition to having an effect on the job market, public services, and political structures.
