Quiz Wednesday Population Clusters Where people don’t live Ecumene DTM Population Pyramids: dependency ratio, be able to classify into DTM Which diseases kill people at each stage? Population Policies: anti-natal (one child policy) & pro-natal Malthus v Boesrup

AIM: Where do people migrate? Do Now: What type of people do you think migrate the most? Do people usually migrate long or short distances? What kind of places do they seek out? SWBAT describe Ravenstein’s Laws for Migration and identify general patterns of migration SWBAT distinguish between forced and voluntary migration SWBAT classify push and pull factors into their respective categories
6
Key Terms Continued Net Migration: difference b/w the # of immigrants and the number of emigrants Immigrants > emigrants = the net migration is positive Net-In Migration Emigrants > immigrants = the net migration is negative Net-Out Migration
7
Why do people migrate? ECONOMIC Reasons Cultural Reasons (Social, Political, Etc) Environmental Reasons Make 3 columns for Economic, Cultural, and Environmental NOTE some migration is forced!
8
Push Factors (Not a definitive list) Unemployment New Farm Equipment Cost of Living Too High Drought Natural Disasters Crop Failures Lack of safety (war/crime) Poverty Political Oppression/ Persecution (religious, ethnic, sexuality, gender based) Lack of services Slavery Not enough water
9
Pull Factors (not a definitive list) Employment Opportunities Affordable Housing Better Services Good Climate Safety Enough Water Political Stability Fertile Land Less Risk of Natural Disasters Slavery Tolerance /Political Freedom More People Like You
10
Forced/Involuntary Migration Compelled to move due to cultural factors Atlantic Slave Trade 1500s-1800s Damaged African societies Forever changed the cultural/ethnic geography of Brazil, the Caribbean, US, etc Trail of Tears 1838 President Jackson orders the removal of NAI from the SE region of the US
13
Does Forced Migration Still Exist? YES! Counter migration: sending back migrants caught entering illegally Modern Slave Trade
15
Ravenstein's Theory for Voluntary Migration Every migration flow generates a return or counter- migration. Urban residents are often less migratory than inhabitants of rural areas. Families are less likely to make international moves than young adults. Most migrants are adults. Large towns grow by migration rather than natural population growth.
16
VERY important Ravenstein Law The majority of migrants move a short distance. Internal migration: w/n same country Interregional migration: from one region of a country to another EX: rural to urban areas for jobs Intraregional migration: movement w/n one region EX: w/n urban areas: older cities to newer suburbs
17
Very Important Ravenstein Law Long-distance migrants to other countries head for major centers of economic activities International migration Mostly male historically REVERSE in the 1990s: 55% of immigrants to US are women WHY?
18
Recent changes w/n migration US More women coming More children coming Move back to cities from suburbs
19
How does Migration relate to the DTM? Migration transition: change in the migration pattern in a society that results from industrialization, population growth, and other social and economic changes that also produce the DTM
20
Migration Transition Stage 1: daily/seasonal mobility for food No true migration (nothing permanent) Stage 2: international migration/ interregional migration from rural areas to cities New technology/industrial revolution Stages 3&4: destinations for migrants leaving stage 2 Intraregional migration from cities to suburbs
