Step into the vibrant world of migration, where borders blur and stories intertwine. This dynamic phenomenon knows no bounds, embracing people from all walks of life. From bustling metropolises to remote corners, countries of all stripes play host to this incredible human tapestry.
Why do people migrate? The answer lies in the intricate web of global imbalances. Driven by dreams of prosperity and access to better opportunities, economic #migrants seek greener pastures. Astonishingly, a whopping 84 percent of migrants in 2020 found themselves in wealthier nations than their own.
