Duration of residence refers to continuous stay in the village or town where the person is enumerated. This will apply to even a person who is born at the place of enumeration provided he or she had left the village or town and lived elsewhere for some time and has come back to village or town at the time of enumeration. The continuous stay also includes short duration visit away from the village or town for purposes such as tour or any temporary visit. Such visits will not be counted as break in the period of continuous residence. The duration of residence was categorized in terms of all duration, less than 1 year, 1-4 years, 5-9 years, 10-19 years and 20 years and more. From this categorization, it is possible to identify the inter-census …show more content…
However, they often visit their parental households. As Indian census counting is based on the de facto status of a person, it is quite likely that some of these women will be enumerated at their place of birth. It seems to be true for the urban to rural and urban to urban streams of migrants also who move to their place of origin after retirement or due to other reasons. It is, therefore, clear that POB criterion underestimates the internal migrants, however it could still be better to measure the international migrants. Based on census data of either POB or POLR, it is not possible to distinguish between permanent, semi-permanent and temporary migrants. In order to differentiate between them, it is necessary to know how long they were away from their place of origin or place of usual residence and also the links they maintain with their native households. Temporary migrants generally stay away from their place of origin or usual residence for less than a year. Given the nature of data available in the census or even in NSS, temporary migrants, seasonal migrants and circulatory migrants are not easily estimated in the study of internal migration in India (Srivastava and Sasikumar,

Migrating from one country to another may happen for many reasons. Immigration is the process that occurs when an individual goes to live permanently in a foreign country (Oxford Dictionary, 2016). However, there are different types of migration that occur, and it is vital to distinguish the differences between an immigrant and a refugee for the purpose of understanding the two terms. Other titles such as asylum seeker is applicable here, however this study will not be looking at asylum seekers. Legally, an Asylum seeker is recognised in the UK as an individual who has applied for refugee status in the UK and is still waiting for a decision on his or her claim, once an individual has received a positive decision on his or her claim they own
Orderly international migration can have a positive impact on the countries of origin and host countries. Migration can also facilitate the transfer of skills and cultural enrichment. The vast majority of migrants is making a significant contribution to the development of their host countries. At the same time, in many countries of origin, international migration entails the loss of human resources, and in the host countries, it can lead to economic hardship and social and political tensions (Dowling, Xavier Inda, 2013).
Immigration is analyzed in the context of pull and push factors. Pull factors are found in the host country and cause the immigrants to want to settle in that country on the other push factors are in the original region and create the immigrant to want to leave. Pull factors include: safety, political stability, freedom, higher salary, improved job opportunities, availability of food, safe environment, the reunification of the family, enhanced quality of life and availability of social services. Push factors include political persecution, war, violence, reduced income, minimal economic opportunities, famine, natural disasters, separation of families,
International migration has become a recognized issue of current economic and social life worldwide. However it is double-sided phenomenon, since it has both positive and negative effects and prospects for the countries and individuals affected by it. As a result, increasing cross-border mobility brought the topic of gender to the on-going academic discussion. Scholarly research on migration has also changed considerably in the past decade, basically from the women-focused research, with the core concept of ‘feminization’ to the more balanced analysis of gender. Along with all the benefits of changing the place of life and work, migration still brings hard challenges to the woman who either left their country or awaits their spouses. One-sided approach that avoids gender aspect in the study of such complex and important social phenomenon as migration may lead to the biases and wrong conclusions which are to its turn may result in unfair and ignoring social policies. Therefore, gender perspective brings certain objectivity to migration research.

People have always been on the move, but the pattern has been changing. International immigration is not just a twentieth century phenomenon, but was there as early as human existence, and has been more visible and more developed as the capitalism and colonialism expanded throughout the globe.

The International Migration Report 2013 estimated that the global international migrants have reached to 232 million, which is 50 per cent increase since 1990s. According to the report, of the 77 million net international migrants worldwide between 1990 and 2013, 69 per cent international migrants choose

The central topic of the Migration, Cultural Bereavement, and Cultural Identity article is about how different cultural, racial and ethnic backgrounds reacted during the process of migration. Because this movement had been going on for decades, Dinesh Bhugara and Matthew A Becker had decided to investigate different aspects of how do migrants react after deciding to take the journey for a new beginning?

Migration is a very old process; it started when people moved from one area to another, because of exhausted natural resources. Nowadays people have many different reasons to immigrate such as economical, political, religious and others. Migration can be of temporary or permanent. Temporary migrations may be annual, seasonal or sometimes even of a shorter period, for example, daily. The number of people who migrate from their native countries is getting higher and higher each year. These people can have positive or negative impacts. For example they can share each other’s culture and background, but sometimes they can damage host country’s cultures and the environment, because the immigrants can have different point of view. The best reason for migration is job opportunities; also, because of medical treatment and education, they can be much better in developed countries. Immigration can substantially improve people’s living conditions. However, not all of the UK population is appreciated with a high inflow of immigrant and it causes a lot of discussion. This essay focuses on positive and negative impacts of immigrants on the UK.
