4. Globalisation, population change and migration Lesson Aims: To understand how globalisation is linked to population change.

5. Factors affecting the population of a place Birth Rates – the number of births per thousand people, per year in a region. Birth Rates – the number of deaths per thousand people, per year in a region. Migration – the movement of people from one region to another. Page 73

6. How are these factors linked to globalisation?

7. Effect of globalisation on natural increase

8. Globalisation can have an impact on natural increase – A growing economy is often linked to a decrease in death rates as medical care, nutrition, education and sanitation improve. There is also often a decrease in birth rates as people become more aware of family planning and the status of women starts to rise, with more women wanting to go out to work.

9. Demographic Transition Model

10. Effect of globalisation on net migration Migrational change can lead to either a fall or rise in population. A net Migration gain occurs when more people immigrate than emigrate. A net Migration loss occurs when more people emigrate than immigrate. The movement of people has led to a globalisation of population with diverse populations made up of many different beliefs, cultures and mixed societies. Migration is largely dependent on a combination of push and pull factors. However it is also largely dependent on the barriers facing a migrant known as ‘intervening obstacles.’ Examples include: Social obstacles e.g. family ties back home. Economic obstacles e.g. The cost of setting up a new home. Lack of information about destination e.g. Where to stay upon arrival. Intervening opportunities e.g. Get distracted along the way (E.G. Poles migrating to Ireland pass through London on route and instead settle there.)
