Migrant deaths refer to the phenomenon of migrants dying during or as a result of their journey to reach a new destination. This research area focuses on understanding the causes and circumstances of migrant deaths, including drowning, dehydration, extreme temperatures, violence, and other factors. Researchers in this field study the patterns and trends of migrant deaths, the impact of migration policies and border enforcement on mortality rates, and strategies to prevent or mitigate migrant deaths. This research is often interdisciplinary, drawing on fields such as sociology, geography, public health, and international relations. It sheds light on the human cost of forced migration and challenges policymakers to address the underlying factors that contribute to migrant deaths.
