Moving out of a country to settle in another is called what?
Correct Answer:
Emigration
Explanation:
Moving out of a country to settle in another is about leaving your homeland to live elsewhere. The term emigration captures that outward movement from the country of origin. In contrast, immigration is about entering a new country. Relocation is a broader term for moving, not necessarily across borders, and expatriation refers to living abroad (often for work) without specifying which direction the move took. So when someone leaves their country to settle in another, they are an emigrant from their homeland and an immigrant in the destination country.
