Migration, Resilience, Vulnerability and Migrants’ Health

Migration has always been a feature of human populations, with people migrating and crisscrossing the globe for a wide range of reasons. During the 21st century [1], there have been substantial increases and changes in international migration and resettlement patterns due to factors including: people’s ability to travel, ease of communication and technology, civil unrest and conflicts, seeking opportunities for greater equality and freedom, and career progression and achievement. As a result of these factors, global populations have increased and integrated across settings, challenging the differentiation between types of migrants such as refugees and economic migrants.
