    Global migration is a complex global phenomenon recognized as important for achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. It involves over 258 million people living outside their birth country in 2017, including 68 million forcibly displaced. Main drivers of migration include economic, demographic, environmental, and social factors that initiate or continue movement, such as access to jobs, education, human rights, poverty, or family separation. Climate change, natural disasters, and human-made crises are also key drivers.

    migrants.
    Global Migration:
    Global migration is a complex phenomenon affecting
    economic, social, and security aspects of our daily lives in a
    rapidly interconnected world. It involves various movements
    and situations, involving people in geopolitics, trade, and
    cultural exchange. Today, more people live in a different
    country than their birthplace, with the number of migrants
    reaching 258 million in 2017. The proportion of internally
    displaced persons is slightly higher than in the past decades,
    with 68 million forcibly displaced persons.
    Migration and Sustainable
    Development Goals
    Migration is one of the defining features of the 21st
    century. It contributes significantly to all aspects of
    economic and social development everywhere, and, as
    such, will be key to achieving the Sustainable
    Development Goals (SDGs).
    Migration and Sustainable
    Development Goals
    The 2030 Agenda is a crucial tool for recognizing and leveraging the link
    between migration and development. It is the first international framework to
    acknowledge migration as a dimension of development, recognizing its
    significant contribution to sustainable development and acknowledging the
    specific vulnerabilities migrants may face. Additionally, the Agenda's
    multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral nature allows for a comprehensive
    assessment of the impact of migration and human mobility on various
    development issues, making it an effective platform for addressing the
    challenges posed by migration in the 21st century.
    The SDG’s and its relation are as follows:
    Migrants - According to the International
    Organization for Migration (IOM), a migrant is:
    "any person who is moving or has moved across
    an international border or within a State away
    from his/her habitual place of residence,
    regardless of(1) the person's legal status; (2)
    whether the movement is voluntary or
    involuntary; (3) what the causes for the
    movement are; or (4) what the length of the
    stay is"

    From this definition, two categories of migrants


    can be identified:
    1. Labor (or economic) migrants (and family
    reunification)
    2. Forced migrants (asylum seekers and
    refugees)
    Forced migrants are those who are compelled
    to migrate due to adverse circumstances
    beyond their control (i.e., war, persecution, etc.).

    Asylum seekers seek safety from persecution or


    serious harm in a foreign country and await a
    decision on refugee status. If negative, they
    must leave the country and may be expelled
    unless humanitarian permission is provided.

    Refugees are those who fear persecution due to


    race, religion, nationality, social group, or
    political opinions and are unable or unwilling to
    avail themselves of the country's protection.
    (Geneva Convention, 1951, Art. IA).
    Drivers of Migration
    Drivers of migration are factors that initiate and continue
    migration, including economic, demographic, environmental,
    and social dynamics. They can be driven by access to better
    employment, education, human rights, discrimination,
    poverty, or separation from family. Additionally, migration
    may be triggered by crises and environmental change. The
    interaction of these drivers affects governments and the
    international community's response to protect migrants,
    govern migration, and maximize its benefits.
    Some of the drivers migration are as follows:

    1. Economic and Demographic drivers


    Economic opportunities, demographics, and poverty/food
    insecurity are key factors in migration decisions. In
    developing countries, young people seek employment and
    income through the informal economy, which accounts for
    33-90 percent of total employment. This often leads to low
    pay, hazardous working conditions, and limited access to
    legal and social protection, causing migration. (ILO, 2017).
    Some of the drivers migration are as follows:

    2. Environmental drivers
    Climate-vulnerable countries often experience high
    emigration rates, making it crucial to consider
    environmental and climate-related evidence when analyzing
    migration patterns and estimating future flows.
    Environmental factors, including climate change and natural
    disasters, impact resilience and vulnerability, potentially
    leading to migration. The impact of climate change on
    migration depends on its interaction with other factors and
    perception of risk. (Atlas of Environmental Migration, 2016).
    Some of the drivers migration are as follows:

    2. Human-made crises
    Human-made crises are the primary causes of migration,
    impacting population movements. The lack of respect for
    international human rights and humanitarian law has led to
    displacement due to deteriorating living conditions.
    Countries with high corruption perceptions are 'net-
    emigration' countries, while those with lower perceptions are
    'net-immigration' countries. Corruption does not necessarily
    cause migration, but rather contributes to it (Carling, 2015).
    SUMMARY:

    Global migration is a global phenomenon that countries all over


    the world are experiencing. In fact, global migration has been
    recognized as playing an important role in achieving the
    Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the 2030 Agenda.
    Reinforcing its significance are the classification and
    categorization of the migrants. Lastly, the drivers of migration
    must be given attention as these are the main foundation why
    global migration exists.
