More On Migration

Today in Human Geo. we learned about more migration. We talked about mobility and how anything you do is mobility. When you go to school, shopping, the grocery store, the bank, work, and anywhere else you go. There are two types of migration. The first is part is immigration. Immigration is the leaving of a certain place. This can be voluntary or this can be forced. The next part is emigration. Emigration is moving into a country. This can also be forced or voluntary. We also learned that three percent of the population has migrated at one point. Net migration is the difference between immigration and emigration. Ravenstiens's law for the distance that migrants typically move a short distance away while immigrants move out of one country into another. There are two categories of migration. The first is international which is a permanent move to another country. This can be forced by war or lack of jobs. This can also be voluntary due to a job or a college. The second type is internal this is a permanent move to another part in the same country.
