Study Notes

Types of Migration Overview

  • Migration involves the movement of individuals across specific boundaries to establish a new permanent residence.
  • Types of migration can be categorized as internal or international based on the boundaries crossed.

Internal Migration

  • Internal migration occurs when individuals move within the borders of a single nation.

International Migration

  • International migration involves crossing national borders with the intention of permanent settlement.

In-migration vs. Out-migration

  • In-migration (immigration): refers to individuals coming into a country.
  • Out-migration (emigration): refers to individuals leaving a country for another.

Net Migration

  • Net migration is calculated by subtracting the number of emigrants from the number of immigrants in a region or country.

Migration Streams

  • Migration streams consist of groups of migrants who share a common origin and destination, indicating organized patterns of migration.

Push and Pull Factors

  • Push factors highlight negative conditions in a migrant's current location that compel them to leave.
  • Pull factors are the perceived advantages or better conditions that attract individuals to a new location.

Chain Migration

  • Chain migration occurs when initial migrants from rural areas influence others from the same area to move to urban locations, creating a trend.

Relay Migration

  • Relay migration involves different family members migrating at various stages of their life cycles, with responsibilities shared among them.

Step Migration

  • Step migration entails moving progressively from rural areas to smaller towns and eventually to urban centers.

Voluntary vs. Forced Migration

  • Voluntary migration is when individuals choose to migrate based on personal will or desire for improvement.
  • Forced migration happens when individuals are compelled to move due to adverse factors like natural disasters or social unrest.

Classifying Migration

  • Migration can be classified into categories such as primitive migration, forced migration, impelled migration, and free/mass migration.

Forced vs. Impelled Migration

  • Forced migration offers no choice for individuals; they must leave due to extreme circumstances.
  • Impelled migration provides a choice, though it usually involves some form of coercion or threat.
