Migration, Poverty and Socioeconomic Inequality

Migration refers to the movement of people from one location to another for various reasons including better security, escaping poverty, pursuing higher education, finding better jobs, escaping human rights violations, and achieving socio-economic equality. Poverty is a condition of having low level of income or lack of material possessions. It can be caused due to a variety of political, social and economic factors. Socioeconomic inequality refers to a social situation in which there is a significant disparity in economic prosperity among the least and most affluent members of the society. Poverty and socioeconomic inequality can lead to migration among a population in order to seek better opportunities and living conditions.

It also examines the impact that immigration has on population and the socioeconomic status of immigrants and the natives. The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the relationship between migration, poverty and socioeconomic inequality. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.
