Reasons for migration

Religious persecutions
- often face discrimination, social exclusion and insecurity – leading to
isolation and decline in mental well being hence pushing them to leave the
country
- in some countries practising certain religions is strictly prohibited and could
lead to punishments ranging from imprisonment to execution hence out of fear
for their lives people migrate

Better standard of living


- people migrate from poorer countries to more developed ones in search of
better and high paying jobs so they can better support their families
- for high quality education to open more career paths for them
- to escape unemployment in overpopulated countries like pakistan and india
where there is a skill mismatch and more competition
- to get better and free healthcare, safe housing, clean water and reliable
electricity

Environmental problems
- due to global warming, rising sea level and melting of glacier more natural
disasters have been occuring
- people lose their homes, jobs and savings in such calamities causing mental
stress and trauma
- with entire towns ruined people no longer have ways to provide for
themselves and incase aid get delayed there are high chances of diseases
spreading

Political factors
- Ongoing wars destroy homes, infrastructure, and entire communities. People flee to
escape violence and death.
- Frequent changes in government, weak leadership, or corruption create
uncertainty. This discourages investment, reduces jobs, and makes daily life unsafe.
- lack of freedom of speech and expression
