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
