Economic Immigrants include which groups?

• A. Skilled workers and businesspeople.
• B. Tourists.
• C. Students.
• D. Refugees.

Answer: (A)

Economic immigration focuses on moving to another country to improve one’s economic prospects—finding work, using specialized skills, or investing in business. Skilled workers bring in-demand abilities to fill labor shortages, and businesspeople relocate to start or expand enterprises that contribute to the economy. That’s why these groups are considered economic immigrants.

Tourists come for short-term visits and do not intend to work long-term. Students primarily move to study, not to move for immediate work or business investment. Refugees are displaced for protection from danger, not for economic opportunities. Among the options, skilled workers and businesspeople best fit the idea of economic immigrants.
