Class 5 EVS Migration of the Family

Migration means moving from one place to another. People move for many reasons like better jobs, education, or safety. Some people move for a short time, like farmers who go to cities to work when there is no farming. This is called seasonal migration.

Sometimes people are forced to leave their homes due to floods, earthquakes, or construction of dams and roads. This is called displacement.

Migration affects families in many ways. Some family members may live apart, children may find it hard to adjust, and elderly people may feel lonely. However, migration can also bring better income, education, and new opportunities.

Earlier, most people lived in joint families, but now many live in nuclear families because of migration. Even if families live far away, they stay connected through phones and the internet.
