Why People Immigrate?

Jago McKenzie, Business Manager at Remitly, says, “Some of the main reasons people seek a move to another country are for greater job prospects, better pay, quality of life and to send money back home to their families, and I think for many, 2020 has been a year for assessing the choices that could change our lives for the better,"
