Module 5 Locally Stranded Individuals and Global Migration

This document discusses global migration and locally stranded individuals. It defines migration as crossing boundaries for a minimum period and global migration as moving across international boundaries. There are several types of migration like internal, international, temporary labor, and refugees. Factors that influence migration include disparities in income, employment opportunities, social well-being, and push factors in the home country like poverty, conflict, or natural disasters. While emigration has costs, it also has benefits for both the host and home countries through remittances and a more skilled workforce.

Pull and Push
Factors
Pull factors- are factors in the
destination country that attract the
individual or group to leave their home.
These factors attract people to a new
place largely because of the
opportunities presented in the new
location were not available to them
previously. The beneficial elements that
the new country presents/encourages
people to migrate there in order to seek
a better life for their families.
Push factors- refer to conditions
which force people to leave their
homes. A person would typically
move because of distress, safety,
natural disaster, or political conflict.
Places that experience drought and
famine, war conflicts, and/or high
unemployment would contribute to
the push factors that trigger
migration for the country’s residents.
