Hi Lydiah,

That's an interesting question. I imagine that its difficult to find a complete answer because there are many authors, organizations, and agents that would give their own opinion based on specific (local, time, culture) experiences. So, if you intend to study a definition, maybe it would be a good idea to research different points of view about this issue.

I will give you some suggestions for reading, hope it helps you.

Good Luck.

Thanks for this interesting topic. I think there should be a good discussion about this topic.

First of all, as a matter of principle, I think the migrant person must be able to decide whether he/she has been assimilated or neglected. In reality, this is not always the case. The issue is complex. So I think the question can be handed over to researchers who can examine the data, the situation in the field and then decide on this issue.

Thanks.
