Migration
Why do people migrate?
Forced migration involves the imposition of authority or power. The difference between forced and voluntary migration is not always clear. A large forced migration was the Atlantic Slave Trade in 1701-1810.
Types of push and pull factors are things that a country has that may cause people to want to live in that country or move away. A pull factor is desirable, whereas a push factor literally pushes people away. Two push factors may be war or natural disaster. Two pull factors may be jobs or college.
Power relationships is when an employer already has an idea of what kinds of migrants would work best for them.
Environmental circumstances is a major example of migration. Thousands of Irish citizens migrated from Ireland to the U.S. during the 1840s due to the potato famine. A few other forms of natural disaster would be a tornado or a hurricane.
Culture and traditions that are threatened in some countries is why many migrate to a country that allows more freedom.
Technological advances have created a much safer and easier trip to most migrants. Some technology advances would be cars, planes, and much safer boats.
Political circumstances are when oppressive regimes have endangered migration streams. In 1975 many migrants fled Vietnam by the thousands after communists took over the country.
Where do people migrate?
Global migration flows before 1500 was usually for spices or exploration. Now global migration is at a much larger scale because of the advancements in technology. A major route of migration is Europe to America.
Regional migration flows are similar to global but occur on a regional scale with migrants going to neighboring countries to take advantage of economic opportunities, to reconnect with cultural groups, or flee war or conflict.
National migration flows can also be thought as internal migration flows. Two of the major migration flow occured internally before 1950.
Guest workers are labor migrants only in the country for a period of time. This is one form of periodic movement. An example of guest worker is when after the second World War participating countries lost many young men. These countrie invited workers from outside the country to fill the gap.
Refugees are people who seek safety and security. A refugee may be a person that has been forced out of their country or maybe they feel that it is no longer safe to live in the country. Many refugees sadly never make it far from home.
What is migration?
Periodic movement involves lager periods away from home. Like cyclic movement in the end you return home. Periodic movement is only a longer period of time. Two common types of periodic movement are trans-humanism and migrant labor.
Migration is when movement results in permanent relocation. International migration is movement across country borders. International migration is movement within country borders. Emigration subtracts from a populations, while immigration adds to the population.
Cyclic movement involves shorter periods of time away from home. Cyclic movement begins and ends at home base. Commuting is a form of cyclic movement. Nomadism is a second form of cyclic movement. Nomadism is based on survival, tradition, or culture.
