International migration is one of the main political, economic, demographic, environmental, and cultural issues and challenges that testifies the inequalities of a world that is increasingly interdependent (Wihtol de Wenden, 2014). Even though migration movements affect only 3.5% of the world’s population, it is a global phenomenon. Overall, the number of international migrants is estimated to have increased over the past fifty years. According to UN estimates, 281 million people lived in a country other than their country of birth in 2020, which is 119 million more than in 1990 (153 million) and more than three times the number reached in 1970. Migration movements are characterized by new dynamics: South-South, North-North, North-South, and no longer only South-North.
