Health is one of the dimensions related to migration, and other is culture. The
interrelation is complex and powerful. Health is related to other social factors like education, job,
income, and housing. Migration is showing the unprotected socioeconomic groups with
remarkable problems. The migrants population is defined as by foreign citizenship, foreign birth
and their movement into a different country as in order to stay for temporary basis moreover it
might be for a about a month and it is processed to get settle down in long term prospect (Kang,
2021). The migrants are choose themselves to move out so as to improve their lives not because
of an threat or persecution They have moved to find work, reuniting the family and seeking

better education. They also get return to home as per their likeness and all the countries and their
government had handled their migrant as per their laws and other processes.

is about 12, 5 million of refugee as per according to UNHCR. These are those people who are
perilous and having in very bad condition and get suffer cross national borders in order to seek
safety nearby different countries (Janda, 2018). Thus they get referred as refugees and have

socioeconomic status, higher rate of infection and its related disease along with that various
conditions over the spectrum of illness. It is a natural result as per dependence of economic
development which also leads to be beneficial to both the countries origin as well as destination.
It is required to be managing and co-operate with migration which assist to develop, emerge and
advance benefit for all (Arora, Bergland and et. al., 2018). The migration resulted into both
positive and negative impact over the nation as of origin and for those of destination too. If the
migrants get leave the country it leads towards reduction and loss of labour which relieves
suitable pressure as within over crowd labour markets, the propping of wage and ease within
unemployment. Furthermore, the remittance of migrant bring ideas and knowledge with them on

populations. Refugees are those people run away with armed conflicts or persecution. Refugees
