Population Geography Migration

What is migration? A movement Change of home Can be: Temporary Seasonal Daily Permanent Between countries Within a country Migration

Types of Population Movement Migration

Chain Migration Chain migration refers to the mechanism by which foreign nationals immigrate by virtue of family reunification. A migration process which depends on a small number of pioneers, who make the first moves to set up a new home in a new place. They send information back home, and this encourages further migration from the originating area. Migration

Circular migration Circular migration in global context is used as a triple win discourse promising gains for host countries, home countries and migrants themselves, promising accelerated economic growth, remittances, relative high wages and brain gain, by means of full circles of migration: immigrants should be able to come, go and come back again, without many restrictions and making use of contemporary transnational networks. (Bieckmann and Muskens, 2007). Circular migration in urban context is a form of migration by which migrants move to the city for a few months and then return to the village when they can be most useful there. It is often part of a larger household strategy that seeks to diversify income streams and maximize consumption. Migration

The distance decay effect Mathematical Migration Models Gravity Model (based on Ravenstein’s laws of migration 1885) Suggests migrants tend to move over short distances Number of migrants decrease as distance increases Called distance decay effect The volume of migration is inversely proportional to the distance traveled, and directly proportional to the relative sizes of the origin and destination places Number of people (level of interaction) Distance The distance decay effect Migration

Mathematical Migration Models Stouffer’s intervening opportunity model The movement of people between 2 places is dependent upon the type and number of intervening opportunities between them. Migration

Migration Model (Jones & Hornsby) Forced migration barriers Country/area of origin voluntary migration Country/area of destination barriers return migration Migration

Forced vs. Voluntary Migration Religious: Jews Pilgrim fathers to New England Wars: Muslims & Indus in India & Pakistan; Rwanda Political Persecution: Ugandan Asians Slaves or forced labor: Africans to SE USA Lack of food and Famine: Ethiopians into the Sudan Natural Disasters: floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions (Mount Pinatubo) Overpopulation: Chinese in SE Asia Redevelopment: British inner-city slum clearance, ujamaa in Tanzania Resettlement: Native Americans (USA), Blacks (RSA) Environmental: Chernobyl (Ukraine) Jobs: Turks into Germany, Mexicans into California Higher salaries: British doctors to USA Tax avoidance: British pop/rock & film stars to USA Opening up of new areas: Israelis into Negev Desert, Brasilia Territorial Expansion: Portuguese into Angola & Mozambique Trade & economic expansion: former British colonies Retirement to warmer climates: Americans to Florida Social amenities & services: better schools, hospitals and entertainment Migration

Migration Model (Jones & Hornsby) Forced migration barriers Country/area of origin voluntary migration Country/area of destination barriers return migration Migration

Barriers to movement to Voluntary migration Government restrictions: immigration quotas, work permits, Berlin wall Lack of money: unable to afford transport to & housing in new areas Lack of skills & education Lack of awareness of opportunities Illness Threat of family division & heavy family responsibilities to Return Insufficient money to afford transport Standard of living lower in original area Racial, religious or political problems in original area Migration

Migration Model (Jones & Hornsby) Forced migration barriers Country/area of origin voluntary migration Country/area of destination barriers return migration Migration

Reasons to return Racial tension in new area Earned enough money to return To be reunited with family Foreign culture proved unacceptable Causes of initial migration removed (political or religious persecution) Migration

Factors influencing migration Attractive reasons Repellent reasons Restraining factors Pull factors Favorable conditions Attract people Lead to spontaneous (voluntary) movement More congenial physical environments Industrial & scientific revolution The ‘lure of foreign parts’ Economic prosperity Push factors Unfavorable conditions Discourage people from remaining Lead to forced movement Hard push factors War Starvation Environmental catastrophes Soft push factors Religious persecution Racial discrimination Poverty Social loneliness Encourage people to stay Migration

Consequences of Migration These can be subdivided into 3 categories: 1. Demographic Consequences: * Changes in the numbers and distribution of people within a region are changed. * Intermarriages are created, leading to a new group of people. 2. Social Consequences: * Migration brings different people together leading to conflicts. * Migration however also creates understanding between different groups of people. * Rural-Urban migration creates ghettoes (favelas, squatter camps, shanty towns) in cities. 3. Economic Consequences: * This depends on the "quality" of the migrants and the economic needs of the origin and destination. Quality refers to skills, age, educational attainment, health etc. * In overpopulated areas, emigration is beneficial because it reduces the pressure on the land. * In underpopulated areas, emigration may slow down development. Migration

Migrant Workers advantages & disadvantages to ‘losing’ countries Reduces pressure on jobs and resources (food) Loses people of child-bearing age causing decline in BR Loses people in working age group Loses people most likely to have some education and skills Mainly males leave causing a division in families Left with an elderly population and so a high DR Migration

Migrant Workers advantages & disadvantages to ‘receiving’ (host) countries Overcomes labor shortage Prepared to do dirty unskilled jobs Prepared to work long hours for low salaries Cultural advantages and links Some highly skilled migrants In ELDC’s these migrants can increase the number of skilled workers Pressure on jobs but most likely first to be unemployed in a recession Low-quality, overcrowded housing lacking basic amenities Ethnic groups tend not to integrate Racial tension Limited skilled/educated group Lack of opportunities to practice their own religion, culture, etc. Language difficulties Often less healthy Migration
