     Migrant in the singular is used as a noun or as a premodification of another noun, e.g., migrant worker (individualisation, singularisation), migrant labour (functionalisation) or migrant community (collectivisation, singularisation) and migrant families (collectivisation, pluralization), and such cases appear in all papers.
