About This Lesson
What is migration?
Migration means different things for individuals, countries, economies, and the world.
Though migration is not a new phenomenon, it takes on a new significance in an increasingly interconnected world. Understanding what migration is—who migrates, where they come from, and where they settle—and what causes migration—both the crises and the opportunities—can affect our understanding of critical issues such as national security, economics, climate change, global health, and more.
As the number of migrants continues to grow for various reasons, it is important to understand how migration shapes the world socially, economically, and politically—and, in turn, how countries shape immigration policy in response.
