Description
Human migration has been a prominent feature of our global history. Diverse environmental, economic, cultural and political changes motivated people to migrate and populate diverse parts of our planet. And while with time motivations for leaving your home country have evolved, international migration is as pertinent today as it ever was. This study is an attempt to evaluate migration patterns within fifty-four African countries by conducting a quantitative analysis of how democracy, economy, and conflict play into the role of migration within and towards Africa in post-Cold-War period.
