LO1: Define migration, immigrant, emigrant, push/pull factors
LO2: Evaluate the combination of reasons as to why groups of people migrate
LO3: Establish migratory trends around the world
Migration is the permanent resettlement of a human population set. There are two types of migration, one being internal which is moving within the same country, and two being moving between countries. People can also be forced into migration or be able to choose if they want to move (forced vs. voluntary). People who leave a place and move are called emigrants and people who move into a place are called immigrants. People move to different places based on push and pull factors. Push factors tend to be negative reasons why people leave a place while pull factors are positive reasons that attract people to a place. For example, a push factor could be a lack of jobs in a place while a pull factor is an abundance of jobs.
People migrate because of many different factors whether they're political, economical, social, etc. For example, people migrate because there are better job opportunities in a place that can promise them better economics, leading to new money and a better life. Some people can also migrate due to political issues, for example in Iraq right now there are many people immigrating due to the terrible conditions and fighting there. Migratory trends around the world usually consist of people immigrating into MDC (most developed country) from LDC (least developed country) because in the MDCs there are more opportunities for jobs, more freedom for things such as religion, and even for safer lives (ex: Iraq to US).
