Effects of Migration

Start with population and migration

Begin with the mind map on Migration that describes movement within and between countries and its connection to population size and age. Then open Impacts of Migration, a slide set covering changes in population and the diversity of communities. Together, these resources offer a starting point for studying how migration can affect a population.

For another perspective, Migration and Migrants Part 2 considers living across borders and making decisions through networks of people. Use it to add migrants’ experiences to the population-focused material.

Compare different viewpoints

Immigration: yay or nay? brings together positions on immigration and topics including economic, political and family reasons for moving. Migration and Development presents optimistic and pessimistic perspectives. You can compare how the maps organize these views and note where their emphasis differs.

The page also lists a mind map on the potential benefits of immigration and another asking Is immigration a burden to society? These offer different starting points for discussing the effects of migration.

Test and connect ideas

The flashcard deck on migration and remittances covers causes, types and patterns of migration, as well as contrasting perspectives. Another deck titled Migration asks questions about immigration and reasons for moving. Use the questions to check recall, then return to a mind map to connect the ideas.

There are no quizzes listed on this page. A free account lets you create your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, and save quiz scores. A self-made quiz can help you check terms before you return to the maps.
