INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION PATTERNS
International migration is the movement of people from one country to another.
People migrate to live somewhere else.
They can migrate because they want to, seeking brighter opportunities for work and family - this is known as voluntary migration.
Alternatively, migrants can move because they are forced to do so, because of political instability in their country, or the threat of war or persecution - this is known as forced migration.
