# Migration and Refugees Migration refers to the movement of people from one place to another, often driven by factors such as economic opportunities, conflict, or environmental changes. Refugees are a subset of migrants who are forced to flee their home country due to persecution, war, or violence, seeking safety and asylum elsewhere. This complex phenomenon has significant implications for host countries and international relations. Data collection and analysis play a crucial role in understanding migration patterns and refugee flows, informing policy decisions that address these challenges. Furthermore, data-driven insights can enhance the design of support systems, ensuring effective integration and assistance for migrants and refugees.
