Global Migration

This document discusses global migration trends. It defines migration as the movement of people between locations. Push factors that drive emigration include unfavorable conditions, while pull factors attracting immigration include better opportunities. The top reasons for migration are economic, with 90% of migrants moving for jobs or education. There were an estimated 247 million international migrants in recent years, with the largest numbers originating from Latin America, Eastern Europe/Central Asia, and the Middle East/North Africa. While migrants provide economic benefits, they also face opposition from anti-immigration groups. International migration affects both sending and receiving countries.
