Question

Do you think migration was a voluntary move or involuntary? Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

People who flee persecution and violence in their own country are considered asylum seekers while the people who decide to move to another country in order to seek employment and better life opportunities are considered migrants. Migrants can be legal, moving threw documentation. Migrants are usually people with a strong resources in order to prepare their journey and arrival in the country of the destination. They save money, they gather the information about the trip and the destination and about the potential employment there, like how mast Europians or Asians come to america. They speak to friends and family at the destination who will help them upon arrival. They may speak to travel agents, potential employers at destination or middlemen of different sorts. They may try to learn the language of the destination country. In short, migrants clearly make decisions and take up the actions in order to prepare for their migration. This does not necessarily mean their migration is voluntary. The reasons for leaving their country of origin may have to do with circumstances that are beyond their the control. Migrating is not a decision taken easily, it involves high costs. They may do this to help family

It can be both

People either can be made to move involuntarily, or forced, or are put in situations that encourge relocation, or reluctant, or if they choose to migrate ,or voluntary.
