Human migration
Human migration is the movement of people from one place to another for the purpose of taking up permanent or semipermanent residence, usually across a political boundary. Migrations have
occurred throughout human history.
Human migration
In modern times it has continued under the form of both “voluntary migration” within one's region, country, or beyond, and “involuntary migration” when people are forced to move.
Human migration
People who migrate are called migrants, or, more specifically, emigrants, immigrants, or settlers, depending on historical setting, circumstances and perspective.
