  • a person who leaves their country of origin purely for economic reasons that are not in any way related to the refugee definition, in order to seek material improvements in their livelihood
Good to know

majandusmigrant
Usage examples
  • Migrant on isik, kes määratluses loetlemata põhjustel lahkub vabatahtlikult oma riigist, et asuda mujale. Teda võib ajendada vaheldusvajadus või seiklusiha, samuti perekondlik või muu isiklikku laadi asjaolu. Kui ajendiks on ainuüksi majanduslikud kaalutlused, siis on isik majandusmigrant, mitte pagulane.
