1
Migration A type of relocation diffusion
2
Migration A permanent move to a new location Geographers document WHERE people migrate to and from across the SPACE of Earth
3
Migration Generally A form of mobility covering all types of movements from one place to another Short-term daily, monthly, or annual movements occurring on a regular basis are called circulation
4
“Em” or “Imm”??? Emigration is migration FROM a location (Emigrants) Immigration is migration TO a location (Immigrants) Ex. Bob from Canada migrates to Brazil. Canada’s data shows him as an emigrant, while Brazil considers him an immigrant. Net Migration is the difference between the # if immigrants and the # of emigrants
5
Net Migration If the # of immigrants > than # of emigrants = positive net migration (region has net in-migration) Opposite of that = negative net migration (region has net out-migration)
6
Let’s Discuss: Why does true migration occur less often than circulation or other forms of movement? How might a region be effected if it has large levels of net in-migration? If globalization connects the world, why do people still feel the need to migrate?
7
Why do people Migrate?
8
Reasons for Migrating: Most people migrate for economic reasons Cultural and environmental factors exist, but not as frequently as economic Push (centrifugal) Factors – induce people to move out of current location Pull (centripetal) Factors – induce people to move into a new location * Both typically play a role
9
Let’s Discuss: What are some economic push/pull factors? What are some cultural push/pull factors? What are some environmental push/pull factors?
10
Intervening Obstacles Intervening Obstacle is am environmental or cultural feature that hinders migration Past – environmental played huge role - Large bodies of water, mountains, deserts, etc. (no modern transportation) - People ended up settling short of desired location Present – cultural plays role - Local diversity in government and politics - Need a passport to legally emigrate, and a visa to legally immigrate
11
Homework!!! Compare and Contrast: 1) International v. Internal Migration 2) Interregional v. Intraregional Migration 3) Voluntary v. Forced Migration Describe each stage of the Migration Transition (Correlates w/ Dem. Trans.) 4) Stage 1 5) Stage 2 6) Stage 3 & 4
12
On your own… Characteristics of Migrants (84-85) U.S. Immigration Patterns (86-88)
13
Global Migration Patterns Asia, Latin America, and Africa have net out-migration North America, Europe, and Oceania have net in-migration Three largest flows currently: 1. Asia Europe 2. Asia North America 3. Latin America North America
14
Global Patterns Continued… Reflects importance of migration from LDCs MDCs U.S. has more foreign born residents than any other country (approx. 40 million in 2010), growing by 1 million annually Australia and Canada have higher rates of net in-migration (smaller populations) Countries with highest rates are in oil exporting countries of the Middle East - Attract workers from poorer neighboring countries to work dangerous jobs
15
Impact of Immigration on U.S. 18 th Century – England and Africa 19 th Century – Europe * Euro migrants declined after WWII 20 th Century – Latin America and Asia
16
European Pattern The Industrial Revolution moved many European countries into Stage 2 As the populations increased economic opportunities decreased Migration to the U.S. helped decrease the population in Europe, creating opportunities for all Most of Europe in Stages 3 & 4 now, no need to reduce population
17
European Culture 65 million European emigrants worldwide Indo-European languages spoken by half of the world Europe’s most prevalent religion, Christianity, also the world’s largest Euro art, music, literature, philosophy, and ethics diffused worldwide
18
Most European Impact Countries sparsely populated prior to Euro migration (U.S. & Australia) Conflict in places w/ indigenous people where Euro dominated and imposed political domination Conflicts today in Africa and Asia a result of arbitrary boundary lines drawn while Euro colonized the area
19
Unauthorized Immigration to the U.S. Unauthorized (undocumented) Immigrants – enter the U.S. illegally 2008 11.9 million - 6.3 mill. adult males - 4.1 mill. adult females - 1.5 mill. children 4 mill. children born in U.S. to illegal parents 8.3 mill. employed (Normally constructions or service job) 59% Mexico 22% Elsewhere in Latin America 12% Asia
