The permanent or semi-permanent movement of people from one place to another.
Detailed Explanation
Migration refers to the act of people moving from one location to another, either permanently or for an extended period. Permanent migration means that the person will not return to their original location, while semi-permanent migration implies that they may return after some time, but their stay in the new location is expected to be long-term.
Examples & Analogies
Think of migration like moving house. When a family decides to move to a new city for a job opportunity, they may sell their home and settle down in the new place, which is akin to permanent migration. Alternatively, students might move to a different city for college but plan to return to their hometown during breaks, which reflects semi-permanent migration.
