Emigration means leaving your home land to settle in another country whilst immigration is the act of entering another country. The International Organization for Migration shows that Europe has the highest number of migrants globally. This is both because of its position and borders but also because of its laws, ex colonial history and its economy. America (the USA) follows next, receiving about a fourth of the number of migrants received by Europe. The last one is Asia.

Immigration to many countries is on the increase as people seek new opportunities or have the desire to join relatives in that country.
