usually refers to the movement
of humans from one place to

Positive Impacts

•Unemployment is reduced and people get better job

opportunities

•Migration of skilled workers leads to a greater

economic growth of the region

•Migrants help to alleviate the poverty in their native

country
• It helps improve social life of people

•Children get better opportunities for

higher education.

•Helps to reduce any labour shortages

Negative Impacts

•Poor neighbouring countries bear the heaviest

burden

•Having large population puts too much pressure on

natural resources, amenities and services.

•Migration changes the population of a place,

therefore, the distribution of the population is
uneven
• Migration increased the slum areas in cities
which increase many problems such as
unhygienic conditions, crime, pollution etc

•Disagreements between different religions and

cultures
In addition, there are more numbers of
obstacles that the migrant may need to
overcome, including:

•unemployment in new country

•racism and cultural differences
•language barriers
•lack of opportunities
