MIGRATION model

1. Immigration

   • Immigration - when someone enters a country.

2. Emigration

   • Emigration - when someone leaves a country

3. International Migration

   • International migration is when people migrate from one country to another - for example, moving from Mexico to the USA.

4. Reasons Why People Migrate

   • Conflict-Induced Displacement occurs when people are forced to flee their homes as a result of armed conflict including civil war, generalized violence, and persecution on the grounds of nationality, race, religion, political opinion or social group. Development-Induced Displacement occurs when people are compelled to move as a result of policies and projects implemented to advance ‘development’ efforts. Examples of this include large-scale infrastructure projects such as dams, roads, ports, airports; urban clearance initiatives; mining and deforestation; and the introduction of conservation parks/reserves and biosphere projects. Disaster-Induced Displacement occurs when people are displaced as a result of natural disasters (floods, volcanoes, landslides, earthquakes), environmental change (deforestation, desertification, land degradation, global warming) and human-made disasters (industrial accidents, radioactivity).

5. Refugee

   • refugee is someone who has left their home and does not have a new home to go to. Often refugees do not carry many possessions with them and do not have a clear idea of where they may finally settle.

6. Internal Migration

   • nternal migration is when people migrate within the same country or region - for example, moving from London to Plymouth.
