Abstract or Summary

Traditional scholarly literature looking into the worldwide migration phenomenon has long used confined patterns to study featured migration trajectories, such as ‘return migration’ and ‘stepping migration’. While ‘return migration’ depicts the situation when migrants return to their home country for re-settlement, ‘stepping migration’ entails the further migrant movement towards other destinations after the accomplishment of the previous migration.
