Abstract
Migration is the geographical movement of people from their place of residence to another region or country due to various reasons such as war, climate changes, drought, religious, political, and economic reasons. It's not just a phenomenon where people change places, but it also includes the seasonal movement of birds, fish, or some animals. Migration has been a phenomenon for centuries in human history, and it dates back to the migration of tribes in the fourth century when people migrated from Central Asia due to drought and climatic conditions. The economic and social dimensions of this migration are still being examined. Globalization has increased international migration, and some countries like the USA, Canada, and Australia encourage legal immigration for economic reasons. However, illegal migration, especially from underdeveloped countries, has reached significant levels due to reasons such as wars, food shortages, and climate change. This study will examine the causes of international human migration, types of migration, migration systems, migration processes, migration agreements of countries receiving intense migration, and the legal and economic consequences of migration for the receiving and sending countries. The discussion will also include the problems that our country experiences as both a country of emigration and a country of intense immigration. Although migration causes significant problems, it also provides serious benefits in countries where necessary legal regulations are made and social measures are taken. Both sociological and liberal perspectives will be covered in this context.
