Human migration occurs when there is a permanent change of house. People may move within one country. They also move to other countries for better living. Migration may be voluntary or forced. Voluntary migration may be external or internal for better economic opportunity or housing. Forced migrations are due to insurgency, political unrest, war, famine, and natural disaster.
