Migration Between Achieving Material Goals And Social Failure: A Sociodemographic Study On Migrants From Algeria To The West
Main Article Content
Abstract
Migration is one of the factors that affect population movement, producing effects on both the population-expelling and receiving countries. For societies, this is a matter of consideration, whereas for individuals, migration often involves personal goals they aim to achieve, unless forced, as in cases of war, for example.
This paper highlights the experiences of individuals migrating in pursuit of their aspirations versus the negative realities they encountered, which were not anticipated until faced in reality. This is through the testimonies of two individuals who have been living abroad for years, with whom several interviews were conducted.
The study found that despite the material gains migrants achieve, they suffer from difficulties in social and cultural integration in their host societies.
