Unit 2 – Population and Migration
Topic 2.11
How does forced migration differ significantly from internal displacement?
Forced migrants cross international borders, whilst internally displaced persons remain within their home country's boundaries.
Only internally displaced individuals are recognized by international law as needing protection.
Internal displacement refers only to natural disasters, whereas forced migrations refer only to political crises.
Forced migrants are displaced due to economic reasons while internally displaced persons only move for political reasons.
