MIGRATION

Many people migrate: they leave the place where they were born to live in another.

Generally, those who migrate seek better living conditions in another country, region, state or municipality.

People who leave their homeland, which is their place of origin, are called emigrants. When they enter the new place where they are going to live, they are called immigrants.

Migratory flows have several causes:

• Economic difficulties are among the main factors motivating migratory flows. In certain locations, low wages or even the difficulty of getting a job lead many families to migrate. These people move to places that offer better employment opportunities and access to decent housing, health services, education, etc.

• The emergence of adversity caused by natural factors can also encourage migration. In regions subject to long periods of drought or suffering the consequences of phenomena such as earthquakes and hurricanes. Many people migrate in search of a new life elsewhere.

In 2010, an earthquake in Haiti, a country located in Central America, caused many difficulties for the population. Thousands of Haitians migrated in search of a better life in other countries.

• Population displacement can also be motivated by wars and political or religious persecution. In this case, many people are forced to leave their place of origin in search of safety in other countries, becoming refugees.

Recently, armed conflicts in Syria, a country located on the Asian continent, have led thousands of families to take refuge in neighboring countries and other continents.
