Economic migrants often come from countries with high levels of unemployment, poverty, and inequality, and are attracted to countries with strong economies and more favorable working conditions. Political reasons: Political instability, conflict, persecution, and human rights abuses are significant drivers of migration. People may flee their home countries to escape violence, oppression, discrimination, and political persecution. Political refugees often seek asylum in other countries to find safety and protection from harm. Social reasons: Social factors also play a role in migration. People may migrate to join family members, reunite with loved ones, or seek better social and cultural opportunities.
