Step 1

All of these migration factors function to create the general framework at the "macro-level" of every given geographical, political, and economic situation in various countries, with different intensity. However, "meso" or even "micro"- levels are necessary for the final option to migrate. In order for a particular individual to take the final option of migration or remain, the strength of the ethnic community, family support – both economic and social – are paramount. Education and accessibility to financial means to allow migration travel has been addressed, but other factors are also significant, such as social and ethnic norms.

The aspiration and willingness to migrate are the main factors that engage with other migration external drivers to create the critical decision to migrate effectively.
- Irrespective of the combination of drivers that contribute to migration in almost any individual, migrants are normally experiencing a challenging phase of incorporation into the host community.
- Instead, the recipient nation may also be required to adjust its health and social services in order to meet the host population's needs. In certain cases, the economic and cultural adjustments implied in this phase are not without dispute.
From a health perspective, while the generalisations of the recently arriving migrants are inappropriate as a result of heterogeneity of origin and disease epidemiology in the original countries ('healthy migrants' effects') but are more impacted than the host communities by latent pathogens and need detection policies and ties to treatment. According to recent reports in France, crowding and insufficient living conditions in camps can also contribute to infectious diseases. However, while selective infections in migrants have been confirmed to be higher, including possible diffuse respiratory infections, the hazard of major propagation in the recipient population

Step 2

However, the risk of substantial expansion among the recipient populations has been stated to be neglectable, considering increased susceptibility of selected pathogens in migrants, particularly possibly diffusional respiratory tract infections. When allowed to settle in the host nation, external persons will be exposed to infection when they return to their native countries – often followed by children born in the host country. They are then alluded to as VFRs("Visiting Friends and Relatives"), as well as the number of diseases introduced into western countries, such as imported malaria. They are the most often used by these diseases.The advice given in these VFR communities for pre-travel presents major challenges to tackle appropriate preventive actions optimally. However, also in the migrants, as a consequence of evolving food preferences in developed countries and progressive adoption of western lifestyle choices, non-communicable diseases (diabetes, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, etc.) are becoming growing among migrants. Finally there is also no tension in the cultural relationship among the migrant patient and the healthcare provider.
The stress on the likely alien existence of otherwise omniprésent diseases or, rather, the underestimation of the cultural barriers are also worsened by language barriers contributing to possible medical errors. In Western medical practitioners, the awareness of culturally sensitive health problems such as genital mutilation is typically limited and requires specific preparation and testing.

Aside from the discussed factors in human migration (cultural, socio-political, environmental and economic), what other factor/s can you suggest that may contribute to migration? Explain.
