What does net migration refer to?

Net migration refers to the net effect of immigration and emigration on an area's population. It is calculated by subtracting the number of emigrants (people leaving) from the number of immigrants (people arriving). A positive net migration indicates that more people are moving into an area than leaving it, while a negative net migration suggests the opposite. This measure can significantly impact population growth, economic development, and social dynamics in a community, often reflecting factors such as job opportunities, living conditions, and political stability.
