Today in class we took notes on our new unit: Migration. These are the notes I took:
- Mobility is most generalized a term that refers to all types of movements
- Short-Term and repetitive acts of mobility are referred to ask circulation
- A permanent move to another location is called migration
- Ravenstein's "laws" for distance that migrants typically move:
1. most migrants relocate a short distance and remain within the same country.
2. Long distance migrants to other countries head for major centers of economic activity
- Migration can be divided into two categories
1. International Migration - permanent move from one country to another
- voluntary
- forced
2. Internal Migration - permanent move within the same country
- interregional
- intraregional
- Approximately 9% of the worlds population are international migrants
- Global Pattern reflects migration tendencies from developing countries to developed countries
- Net-Out migration
ex: Asia, Latin America, Asia
- Net-In migration
ex: North America, Europe, Australia
