    • Skill and Knowledge Transfer: migrants bringing their skills and knowledge to a new country or sharing them with their home country upon return
    • Reduction in Unemployment: migration easing unemployment pressures in countries with surplus labor

    Detriments for Sending Countries

    • Human Trafficking: the illegal trade of humans for exploitation, including forced labor, sexual exploitation, and involuntary servitude.
    • Causes and Contributing Factors:
      • Economic Vulnerability: susceptibility to economic downturns or shocks, pushing individuals into the hands of traffickers due to poverty and lack of opportunities.
