Migration is defined as the movement of people from one place to another. As the world has progressed in leaps and bounds, migration also has certain changes connoted with it. Earlier, the movement was way simpler with all the intermediaries involved whereas now it has become gender and season specific. The related factors, consequences and impact of migration form the essence of the phenomenon. The following paper is a step to interrogate and review migration from a sociological standpoint. The work is intended to ascertain the nuances related to migration and its comprehensive effect of it on the families involved.

Abstract


Migration is defined as the movement of people from one place to another. As the world has progressed in leaps and bounds, migration also has certain changes connoted with it. Earlier, the movement was way simpler with all the intermediaries involved whereas now it has become gender and season specific. The related factors, consequences and impact of migration form the essence of the phenomenon. The following paper is a step to interrogate and review migration from a sociological standpoint. The work is intended to ascertain the nuances related to migration and its comprehensive effect of it on the families involved.
