Researchers point to various reasons for immigration. Here, we summarize five factors that can interact and vary depending on the context of each individual or group.
1. Economic: Many people seek better job opportunities and living conditions. Unsatisfied in their home countries, they end up crossing borders.
2. Social: Associated with the desire to reunite with family or escape situations of discrimination.
3. Political: One of the most commonly cited reasons, linked to fleeing wars, political persecution, or authoritarian regimes.
4. Environmental: Natural disasters and climate change that affect housing and livelihoods lead people to form or strengthen a diaspora.
5. Education: Undoubtedly one of the main reasons. Opportunities for study in prestigious institutions drive people from various parts of the world to migrate. Once there, they often do not want to return to their home countries.
