About migration
Migration is the movement or displacement of human beings on the terrestrial surface.
The term migration has two meanings: one that includes all types of displacements of human beings, and one that only takes into consideration those displacements that involve a change of residence. This, in the widest sense, includes the continuous motions of the population between housing and the place of work.
The most important form of migration since the 19 century is known as rural exodus, which is the massive displacement of people from rural to urban environments. Annually, millions of people around the world will move from the country to the city (especially in developing countries) searching for better living conditions and employment opportunities.
Migration is a phenomenon as ancient as humanity itself, but which is now taking place at an intensity and prevalence that is without historical comparison. From countryside to the city, from poor regions of a country to capital ones or from south to north, the effect on the economy and society of affected areas is extraordinary.
It is believed that migration must be addressed from a multidisciplinary point of view, considering such topics as legal, ethical, political, cultural, socioeconomic and familiar causes; catastrophes, wars and international conflicts; and, above all, the impact on the societies of origin and destination.
