On Migration Solutions and Interventions: An Afterthought

Dennis V. Blanco

 

Abstract:

Migration is a phenomenon or event in which there is movement of people from one place to another place, from one region to another region, from one country to another country, or from one continent to another continent for varied reasons which can be economic, political, social, cultural, and moral in nature or a combination and amalgamation of all reasons aforementioned. International migration is the movement of people to another country, leading to temporary or permanent settlement. In the aggregate, it commonly raises questions about national identities and social membership. In a perspective that is content with common sense, migration is the relocation of individuals to some distant place, that is, at least beyond one’s own city or town (Bartram & Poros 2014, p. 4).
