Answer 1

- Migration: The movement of people from one place to another to live, work, study, or escape problems. It can be within a country or between countries, short-term or long-term.

- Immigrant: A person who moves into a different country (or region) with the intention of living there for an extended period or permanently.

- Push factors: Conditions in a person’s home area that drive them to leave (for example: war, poverty, persecution, natural disaster).

- Pull factors: Attractive features of a destination that draw people there (for example: jobs, safety, better services, family ties).

- Voluntary migration: Moving by choice, usually to pursue better opportunities or lifestyle (for example: moving for a job or education).

- Involuntary migration: Moving because people are forced to do so by outside pressures (for example: conflict, persecution, human trafficking, or forced displacement).

- Refugee: A person who has been forced to leave their country and cannot return because they have a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons such as race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group; refugees are usually recognized and protected under international law.

- Asylum seeker: A person who has fled their country and is asking another country for protection as a refugee, but whose claim has not yet been legally decided.
