Migration (human) is the movement of people from one place in the world to another for the purpose of taking up permanent or semi permanent residence, usually across a political boundary. People can either choose to move (“voluntary migration”) or be forced to move (“involuntary migration”). Punjab has recorded an above average growth rate of 10 percent over the years due to migration. Various research reports reveal that today Punjab need outside workers for various reasons.
