Migration – Types, Causes & Impact
Migration is the movement of people from one location to another, either permanently or temporarily. Population redistribution is mostly influenced by migration. India has seen waves of migration from all over the world throughout its history. Southeast Asia, as well as Central and West Asia, have sent the most migrants. They have established themselves and their homes in many regions of India. Like this, a large number of Indians have left their homeland to seek better opportunities elsewhere in the world.
One of the main reasons people migrate is in search of a better life. Many Indian migrants are accommodated by nations in North and South America, Western Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and South-East Asia. Some people move in search of work opportunities, to join family, or to study. Others move to escape conflict, or human rights violations. Still others move in response to the adverse effects of climate change etc.
