Abstract

Migration has emerged as one of the most significant social phenomena of the contemporary world reshaping societies economies cultures and political structures across regions and nations. The movement of people from one place to another—whether voluntary or forced internal or international—has profound implications for both migrants and host societies. Social integration stands at the core of migration studies as it determines the extent to which migrants are able to participate meaningfully in social economic cultural and political life in their destination societies. This research paper examines the complex relationship between migration and social integration exploring how migrants adapt to new social environments and how host societies respond to cultural diversity. The study analyzes theoretical perspectives on migration dimensions of social integration challenges faced by migrants and the role of institutions policies and community networks in facilitating or hindering integratio
