High Standard of Living: Now some people give high emphasis on ‘High Standard of Living.’ It is often seen that parents send their children abroad to attain a better lifestyle. The reality is that they try their level-best to provide better career prospects and lifestyle to their children which they themselves might not have acquired in their lives.

And then what… others also immigrate to the same country (or probably a better one) to enhance their future prospects.

Political Reasons: In addition, a wide range of political reasons are arrayed with the term ‘immigration.’ People immigrate to maintain a global presence amongst various countries.
