CHAPTER 3: METHODOLOGY

Research Design

In order to attain the most appropriate result, the researcher has to employ the suitable research method in the research study. Research methodology is a documented process for the management of projects that contain procedures, definitions & explanations of techniques used to collect, analyze, store & present the information as a part of research process. For this research study, the secondary and qualitative research methods were used (Scheurich 2007, 170). While doing research it is important to choose the methodology according to the area in which the research is being conducted. Through secondary sources the experiences of migrated people which are in the written in different articles already can be judged and looked for concluding. Secondary sources have complete analyses already which have been done, in related books or journals.

First of all, the sample should be defined that is the number of people who are going to give the interview for data collection and then one has to prepare the questions in advance to avoid any problem at the moment of research. One should jot down the name of places which one has to cater and then set the appointments with the people one has to meet for collection of data (Tashakkori 1998, 76).

The data has been collected from Literature reviews i.e. the reviews of research papers, industry publication and journals. The primary has ...
