What type of migration pattern occurs when workers temporarily move to another country for seasonal jobs, and then home?

1 answer

The migration pattern you are describing is known as "circular migration." In this pattern, workers move temporarily to another country for seasonal employment opportunities before returning to their home country. This form of migration allows individuals to seek work during peak seasons, often in agriculture or tourism, and then return home during off-seasons. Circular migration can benefit both the host country, which gains a flexible labor force, and the home country, where remittances can support local economies.
