All of the factors listed can contribute to migration flowing from one country to neighboring countries, but some are particularly significant:
-
Asylum programs - These can draw migrants to neighboring countries that offer protection and support for those fleeing persecution.
-
The presence of diasporic communities - Established communities can attract migrants from their home countries, leading them to nearby nations where family or cultural ties exist.
-
Conflict within a country - This is a major driving factor for migration. When conflict erupts, individuals often seek refuge in neighboring countries that are perceived as safer.
-
Technologies that enable communication - While not a direct cause of migration, they facilitate awareness and connections between migrants and those in the host country, potentially influencing the decision to migrate.
Given all these points, the primary factors likely contributing to migration to neighboring countries would be conflict within a country and asylum programs.
