โข Internal Migration: Movement within a country (e.g., rural to urban).
โข International Migration: Movement across national borders.
โข Voluntary Migration: Based on personal choice, often for education, employment, or family reasons.
โข Forced Migration: Involuntary movement due to conflict, natural disasters, or persecution (e.g., refugees, asylum seekers).
Detailed Explanation
This chunk explains the different types of migration. Internal migration refers to people moving within their own country, such as moving from a village to a city for better job opportunities. International migration involves crossing borders, either for better life opportunities or because one needs to escape from danger. Voluntary migration is when individuals choose to move for reasons like education or family, while forced migration happens when people are compelled to leave their home due to situations such as war or natural disasters.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine someone living in a rural village who decides to move to a city for a job (internal migration). In contrast, a family fleeing from a war-torn country to seek refuge in another nation (forced migration) shows how migration can be a matter of survival.
