Summary/Abstract: The displacement process of people depends on many economic, social, political, cultural and environmental reasons. The number of international migrants has continued to grow rapidly, reaching from 150 million in 2000 to 220 million in 2010 and 272 million in 2019. The number of refugees also increased from 14 million in 2000 to 26 million in 2020.1More than half of all refugees globally originate from just three countries – Afghanistan, Somalia, and Syria.
