Migration characteristics

Gender .
Men tend to be the prodimenant gender that would migrate.
This is due to many men leaving countries in order to send money back to the country of origin. They also may be the "front runners" for a family and may try to establish themselves before allowing the rest of the family to move.

Age.
A large amount of the migration population are from the economically active age range. The older people will tend to not migrate as they may not be in need of new work and they will tend to be established at there age with a home and a family.

Cultural reasons
Push factors
Forced international migration has historically occurred for two main cultural reasons: slavery and political instability. Millions of people were shipped to other countries as slaves or as prisoners, especially from Africa to the Western Hemisphere. Wars have also forced large-scale migration of ethnic groups in the 20th and 21st centuries in Europe and Africa. Another push factor would be the fear of prosecution and these people would be refugees: people who have been forced to migrate from their homes and cannot return for fear of persecution.

Pull factors
Political conditions can also operate as pull factors, especially the lure of freedom. People are attracted to democratic countries that encourage individual choice in education, career, and place of residence. After Communists gained control of Eastern Europe in the late 1940s, many people in that region were pulled toward the democracies in Western Europe and North America.
