In this course you will also study migration on a micro-level, as an individual decision to move to another country, or as a family strategy in sending regions to increase income. Migrants send a large share of their income back to their families. How do these remittances affect communities in sending regions?

You will also study how social networks between sending and receiving countries drive migration and how states influences migration streams. The objective of the course is to give the ability to identify the causes of migration and how migration affects both sending countries and receiving countries. The course is given as a basic level course within sociology.
