Health of People, Health of the Planet, Health of Migrants

Abstract

Migration is as old as mankind. Modern humans are the children of immigration (Antón, Potts, and Aiello, 2014). Today’s migrations unfold in complex ecologies involving demographic factors, economic variables, social practices, political processes, historical relationships, the environment itself, and various combinations thereof (McLeman, 2014). In the twenty-first century, mass migration is the human face of globalization-the sounds, colors, and aromas of a miniaturized, interconnected, and ever-fragile world. Above all, migration is a condition of all humanity.
