Social factors motivating migration grow from the human needs and desires to achieve a better quality of life. Migrants often move to ensure better
opportunities for themselves or their family, like sending their child to a better, safer school or finding a job that would have not only a sufficient salary, but also important benefits and career growth prospects. In terms of education, the United States graduate programs have been a particularly strong attraction for young, talented individuals around the world. Individuals can also migrate in search of
services, such as life-saving surgery and medical treatment that are inaccessible in their home area.
