Suggest and explain two reasons why people come to live in the UK?
One reason is Asylum in order to escape persecution in their home country which can put their life and their family’s life at risk which puts them in danger. Therefore, they need to live a new life out of harmful aspects that can put them at risk e.g. genocide, corrupt government, crackdown.
Another reason is to pursue better opportunity and greater benefits in terms of job aspects and income to live a more prosperous way of life and are willing to work based on it due to not enough opportunity in their own country.
