Concept and meaning of Immigration
According to Bohman and Hjerm, (2016) The Immigration is the process of movement of
the people across the countries in which they do not possess the citizenship by birth. It is the
process in which the individual move to another country and try to gain the citizenship and
become resident of that country. It refers to the process of migrating to new country. The
immigration occurs due to various reasons.

Causes of the migration – why people migrate?
According to D'aoust, (2018) There are certain pulling factors which cause the movement
of the people. These push an pull factors are the reason of movement. The push factors are the
forces which makes an person to leave country of origin. The pull factors are the forces which
attracts an individual to settle in that place. The reasons of the immigration may be personal
reason such as increased opportunity in other country, the security of the native place is
vulnerable, to explore employment opportunity etc. factors. The immigrants play an important
role in shaping the other country economy while impacting the native place economy.
In order after World War II, the immigration was largely due to the colonization and
refugee movement. The people moved from these places to France and UK and helped in
development of these economies. The push factors that makes the person to detach from the
native place are the discrimination, threatened lives, low employment opportunity, not developed
economic structure, unsuitable weather and climate etc. factors. The pull factors which attracts
one the one to settle in that place are improved opportunity to build and use the skills,
favourable socio-economic factors, personal reason to live with families etc. factors. These
factors make the migration of the people.
