We were given a worksheet at the beginning of class that talked more thoroughly about the notes we had taken in the previous class.
Here's what I had highlighted:
Migration is a permanent move to a new location
Migration is a form of mobility, which is a more general term covering all types of movements form one place to another.
Types of short-term, repetitive, or cyclical movements that recur on a regular basis, such as daily, monthly, or yearly, are called circulation.
Emigration is migration from a location; immigration is immigration is migration to a location.
The difference between the number of immigrants and the number of emigrants is net migration. If the number of immigrants exceeds the number of emigrants, the net migration is positive, and the region has net in-migration. If the number of emigrants exceeds the number of immigrants, the net migration is negative, and the region has net out-migration.
Most people migrate in search of three objectives: economic opportunity, cultural freedom, and environmental comfort.
Ravenstein's "laws" can be organized into three groups:
The distance that migrants typically move, the reasons migrants move, and the characteristics of migrants. According to Ravenstein, most migrants relocate a short distance and remain within the same country. And, those who move to other countries head for major centers for economic activity.Migration can be either international or internal.
A permanent move from one country to another is international migration. Around 214 million people, or 3 percent of the world's population, are international migrants and currently live in countries other than the ones in which they were born.
Voluntary migration means that the migrant has chosen to move, usually for economic reasons. Forced migration means that the migrant has been compelled to move by cultural or environmental factors.
A permanent move within the same country is internal migration.
Interregional migration is movement from one region of a country to another.
Intraregional migration is movement within one region.
The United States has more foreign-born residents than any other country, approximately 42 millions as of 2015, and growing annually by around 1 million.
The United States has had three main eras of immigration: Colonial settlement in seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; mass European immigration in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; and Asian and Latin American immigration in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
Recent United States immigrants have emigrated from two regions: Latin America and Asia.
