Economic migration refers to the movement of people from one place to another, primarily driven by the desire for better job opportunities and improved living conditions. Individuals often leave their home countries or regions to seek employment in areas where wages are higher or where there are more job openings. This type of migration can significantly impact both the migrants' home and host countries.
Many economic migrants may move from developing nations to more developed ones, such as those in North America or Western Europe. This migration can lead to increased remittances sent back home, which can help improve the economic situation of families and communities left behind. However, it can also create challenges in the host countries, such as competition for jobs and resources.
