Migration for livelihood and well-being of self and family members is as old as the history of human beings. While migration is associated with the overall well-being of migrants and their families, there are several problems about happiness that arise for migrants, notably those who relocate from one nation to another. This study is based on the review of prior research that examines the findings and implications for institutional policies and procedures. The work defines and elucidates migration and well-being, and the relationship between the two from a global perspective. The findings suggest that of study of migration and well-being should be examined with caution, as it is still in its infancy . There is a need for optimised data, particularly data that can aid in our understanding of the impacts and consequences of migration more broadly, as well as data that can aid in our understanding of the effects and outcomes of migration more broadly.

Abstract


Migration for livelihood and well-being of self and family members is as old as the history of human beings. While migration is associated with the overall well-being of migrants and their families, there are several problems about happiness that arise for migrants, notably those who relocate from one nation to another. This study is based on the review of prior research that examines the findings and implications for institutional policies and procedures. The work defines and elucidates migration and well-being, and the relationship between the two from a global perspective. The findings suggest that of study of migration and well-being should be examined with caution, as it is still in its infancy . There is a need for optimised data, particularly data that can aid in our understanding of the impacts and consequences of migration more broadly, as well as data that can aid in our understanding of the effects and outcomes of migration more broadly.
