The Migration Phenomenon in the Context of Sustainable Development

Abstract

In the literature, researchers approach the field of migration as a phenomenon that is common and must be viewed and analyzed from a structural point of view, in order to have an overview of it. A fundamental characteristic of the population is the right to move from one place to another, this being a right implemented and recognized worldwide, since 1948, by the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, after the formation of the United Nations in 1945. The fundamental principles of the United Nations are to promote and encourage "respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, regardless of race, sex, language or religion".
