Answer:
Migration is the permanent relocation of an individual from one country to another. The number of international migrants has increased rapidly over recent years, reaching 244 million in 2015. (UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs) There are a variety of different reasons for migration, and migration is often split into two categories - voluntary migration and forced migration. However, some reasons for migration apply to both voluntary and forced migrants, therefore it is more useful to think of reasons for migration in two categories: ‘push’ and ‘pull’ (see Table 1). Push factors drive a migrant out of their country of origin while pull factors attract migrants towards a particular destination country.
