Panel Discussion on Forced Migration

On March 4, 2015, a panel discussion was held on the campus of Elon University, where the topic of forced migration was discussed. A number of professors teaching at Elon University shared their ideas about the causes and consequences of forced migration. I talked about the economic forces that can force a person to migrate to another place. It was a very informative session that discussed the economic, social and political factors that can influence forced migration.


Forced migration is seen in many parts of the world. One glaring example is the migration from Bangladesh to countries in South-East Asia. Newspaper articles have shown how people are trafficked and employed in slave-like working conditions in Thailand and Malaysia.
