The migration transition is a change in the migration pattern in a society that results from the social and economic changes that also produce the demographic transition.STAGE REVIEW!

They can flee to another locale within their home country, in which case they are known as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). Or they can flee to another country, becoming “refugees” when they cross an international border. Those who travel directly to the country in which they seek “safe haven” are referred to as “asylum seekers,” while those who flee to another country and wait there for an opportunity for resettlement in a third country are called “refugees for resettlement.”The number of forcibly displaced people around the world has skyrocketed since 2007, growing from 42.7 million that year to 68.5 million as of 2017. Much of this increase has been fueled by ongoing armed conflicts in Syria, Myanmar, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). However, people are also being displaced in large numbers by conflicts in Burundi, the Central African Republic, Iraq, South Sudan, Sudan, Ukraine, and Yemen.Refugee Flows Are Increasing WorldwideThe top-five?origin countries for refugees?in 2017 were Syria (6.3 million), Afghanistan (2.6 million), South Sudan (2.4 million), Myanmar (1.2 million), and Somalia (986,400).How U.S. Refugee Admissions Numbers Are DeterminedThe President, in consultation with Congress, determines the numerical?ceiling for refugee admissions?each year. The State Department and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are the primary agencies that assess the viability of different refugee populations for admission, as well as the capacity of U.S. government officials to process them. For Fiscal Year (FY) 2019, the?ceiling?was set at an all-time low of 30,000, down from the previous all-time low of 45,000 set in FY 2018? — although the number of refugees admitted in 2018 was only half of that number (22,415)The largest share of refugees who came to the United States during FY 2018 were from Africa, followed by the Near East/South Asia, East Asia, Europe, and Latin America/Caribbean.?
