Anthropology

<OpenstaxParagraph>
	Because of emerging global forces of all kinds—social, economic, environmental, and political—there has been a recent rise in migration within geographical regions and across countries. Four of the most common types of contemporary migration are listed below. Each derives from different causes and is associated with different push and pull factors (Woldeab 2019). In some situations, these types of migration may overlap, such as in the aftermath of a natural disaster.
</OpenstaxParagraph>
<OpenstaxUl>
	<OpenstaxLi>
		<OpenstaxTerm>Labor migration</OpenstaxTerm> is the movement of people for the purpose of employment and/or economic stability. It may be an internal migration from one town to another within the same country of origin, or it may involve travel across countries in search of opportunities. In 2017, the United Nations International Labour Organization estimated that there were 164 million labor migrants worldwide (Global Migration Data Analysis Centre 2021).
	</OpenstaxLi>
	<OpenstaxLi>
		<OpenstaxTerm>Forced migration</OpenstaxTerm> or <OpenstaxTerm>displacement</OpenstaxTerm>, also called <OpenstaxEm>involuntary migration</OpenstaxEm>, is migration due to persecution, conflict, or violence and involves refugees and those seeking asylum. The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) estimated that as of the end of 2019, there were some 79.5 million forced migrants or displaced persons worldwide. More than two-thirds (68 percent) of those displaced persons came from just five countries: Syria, Venezuela, Afghanistan, South Sudan, and Myanmar (UNHCR 2020). One out of every 108 people was displaced in 2018 (UNHCR 2019).
	</OpenstaxLi>
	<OpenstaxLi>
		<OpenstaxTerm>Forced labor</OpenstaxTerm>, <OpenstaxTerm>human trafficking</OpenstaxTerm>, and <OpenstaxTerm>modern slavery</OpenstaxTerm> are a set of linked terms defined as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, and/or harboring of persons by means of threat or use of force or coercion for the purpose of exploitation (UN 2020). This includes sexual slavery and forced labor. As of 2016, some 25 million people were involved in forced labor and some 40.3 million in modern slavery worldwide, while an estimated 15.4 million were in forced marriages (https://www.ilo.org/global/topics/forced-labour/lang--en/index.htm). While a large proportion of the victims are women, human trafficking involves men and children as well. The Counter Trafficking Data Collaborative (https://www.ctdatacollaborative.org/) estimates that nearly 80 percent of international human trafficking journeys pass through airports and other official border control points.
	</OpenstaxLi>
	<OpenstaxLi>
		<OpenstaxTerm>Environmental migration</OpenstaxTerm> is displacement caused by natural disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, or droughts. It can be permanent or temporary and is a rapidly growing area of migration due to global climate change. In 2018, 17.2 million people were displaced due to environmental conditions; by 2019, the number had risen to 24.9 million (https://www.internal-displacement.org/global-report/grid2019/).
	</OpenstaxLi>
</OpenstaxUl>
<OpenstaxParagraph>
	Anthropologists who study migration are often involved in <OpenstaxTerm>multi-sited ethnographic research</OpenstaxTerm>, exploring not only migrant populations but their communities of origin as well. Understanding the social and cultural attributes of communities of origin helps researchers gauge the level and types of adaptation caused by migration. Also, communities of origin typically remain part of migrants’ wider social networks and are vital to their well-being and success. It is not uncommon for relatives and other members of the migrants’ home communities to follow them to their new settlements and reestablish a sense of community and a set of self-help networks there. This process of serial migration from the same community of origin is known as <OpenstaxTerm>chain migration</OpenstaxTerm>.
