Migrants vs. Expatriates


The main difference between migrants and expatriates is that the first group decides to go to another country because of socio-economic reasons; they are tempted by more attractive living conditions and better opportunities for earning money. Generally, migrants are low skill people without a stable employment that see the migration process as a way of success and personal development. In the second case, expatriates are defined as specialized professionals and academics that belong to a company and accept the proposal of going abroad in order to advance their careers, access to better wages and achieve more benefits. This group is characterized for seeking high professional and abilities development, improvements in their job positions and acquire new knowledge basis appropriate for the success of their employer company.
