Chapter 3…Migration
1
Movement of people creates many changes. Movement changes
both the places they move to and the places they came from.
Movement speeds diffusion of ideas and innovations; it intensifies
spatial interaction and transforms regions; and it is also often closely
linked to environmental conditions.
Movement takes many forms:
1. local-local 2. local-global 3. daily 4. once in a lifetime
The more mobility a person has the easier it is for them to move. More
moving means that the person broadens their perspectives. This
enhances the likelihood of them leaving home. Most people who
move have traveled before.

There are three types of movement, all are based on the time away from their
home; Cyclic, periodic and migration.
•Cyclic movement: These are daily or very short moves from our home to some
place and back. The area of these short moves is known as Activity spaces. You
moving from home to school and back home (perhaps to the mall too) are your
activity spaces.
A. Another type of cyclic movement is seasonal. People who come to live in
Florida in the winter and then go back to some place up north for the
summer, are good examples. This is a luxury as it doesn’t have to be done.
B. Nomadism is seasonal but it has to be done to survive.
•Periodic movement: Like cyclic movement this ends up with the person coming
home, but there is a longer period away than with cyclic movement. Migrant
workers are your best example. They leave home to work in another place and
stay, often sending money back to their home, until they return home at a later
date. They are not immigrants as immigrants come to stay.

1. Transhumance is a system of pastoral farming where the
ranchers move livestock according to seasonal food supplies.
2. Going off to college for months at a time is another example
of periodic movement, so is Military service.
• Migration: This is permanent movement across large distances by
an individual, household, or larger group, to a new place outside
the community of origin.
1. International (or external) migration is movement across
country borders. (Emigration= exit a country, Immigration
= enter a country)
2. Internal migration is migration within a country’s
border. This would be movement of farmers to the cities or
retirees from the city to small towns in retirement areas.

Why migrate?
•Forced migration would be when a group is forced out of their area
by a more powerful group. US forced Native Americans off of their
land in the 1700-1800’s. Involuntary migration does not fit the normal
theories of migration. Examples include the Atlantic Slave Trade from
1700-1810, British convicts forced to move to Australia in the late
1700’s to early 1800’s, and Jews forced out of NAZI Germany in the
1930’s.
•Voluntary migration occurs when a migrant weighs the options and
chooses to move. This can be analyzed, studied and understood with
modern theories.
There is a problem in studying migration, as people often move for
both voluntary and involuntary reasons. Likewise, it is difficult to get a
clear picture of gender and migration. In many regions, men usually
migrate more than women but that is not always true.

The history of
immigration
into the US.
Note how the
origin of the
immigrants has
changed over
the years.
The big dip in
the 1930’s was
caused by our
shutting the
borders due to

About 5.0 million undocumented immigrants were residing in the United
States in October 1996, with a range of about 4.6 to 5.4 million (about 1.9%
of the total US population). The population was estimated to be growing
by about 275,000 each year. 41 percent, of the total undocumented
population in 1996 are nonimmigrant overstays. That is, they entered
legally on a temporary basis and failed to depart.

•So…..Migration is the movement of people.
•It is classified by such indices as:
Distance traveled…most is short.
Reason for migration…money is #1 reason
Period of time of travel…daily, periodic, permanent
Volume of migrants…streams of migration
•Consequences of migration include
Increased understanding between people of different cultures
Increased animosity between people of different cultures
Changes in numbers of people at the destination and origin
Creation of ghettoes in urban areas
Inter-marriages
Ravenstein's Laws of Migration:
•Ravenstein came up with his "laws" of migration in the 1880s based
on studies carried out in the UK.
16
• Ravenstein’s laws are as follows:
17
1. The greatest body of migrants travel short distances.
2. This produces currents directed towards great commercial centers.
3. Each current has a compensating counter-current in the opposite
direction.
4. Both currents display similar characteristics
5. Long distance movements are directed towards great commercial
centers.
6. People in urban areas migrate less than people in rural areas.
7. Males migrate more over long distances and females migrate more
over short distances.
Additions to These Laws:
1. Most migrants are between 20-34 years of age.
2. People mainly move for economic reasons.
3. Urban housing development is inadequate for the influx of migrants so
ghettoes/shanties are formed.
Other important laws regarding migration:
Zipf's Inverse Distance Law
•The volume of migrants decreases with distance from the origin.
Stouffer's Law of Intervening Distances
•The number of migrants moving from one town (i) to another (j) is directly related to the
opportunities available at j but inversely proportional to the number of intervening opportunities
between i and j.
Push-Pull Theory
•Any migration is as a result of push forces at the origin and pull forces at the destination.
Examples of push forces are famine, war and poverty. Examples of pull forces are availability of
food, peace and wealth.
Gravity Model
•This theory states that larger towns are more attractive to immigrants than smaller towns.
18
The Gravity Model shows which is a more likely move.
19
The gravity model, as social scientists refer to the modified law of gravitation,
takes into account the population size of two places and their distance. Since
larger places attract people, ideas, and commodities more than smaller places
and places closer together have a greater attraction, the gravity model
incorporates these two features.
The relative strength of a bond between two places is determined by
multiplying the population of city A by the population of city B and then
dividing the product by the distance between the two cities squared. This gives
you an idea of which place a migrant is more likely to move to. It is only a math
equation and does not include such things as people in a place that the migrant
may know or other personal reasons why the migrant would chose a particular
place to move to.
Population1 x population2
distance 2
Here is an example of the Gravity Model’s formula in use:
20
Which is more likely, someone moving from LA to NY city or from Tucson AZ. to
El Paso Texas? Fill in the populations and mileage into the formula. For LA-NY
we first multiply their 1998 populations (20,124,377 and 15,781,273,
respectively) to get 317,588,287,391,921 and then we divide that number by
the distance (2462 miles) squared (6,061,444). The result is 52,394,823. We
can shorten our math by reducing the numbers to the millions place - 20.12
times 15.78 equals 317.5 and then divide by 6 with a result of 52.39.
Now, do the same for El Paso and Tucson. We multiply their populations
(703,127 and 790,755) to get 556,001,190,885 and then we divide that number
by the distance (263 miles) squared (69,169) and the result is 8,038,300.
(Reduced like above to 8.03) Therefore, the bond between New York and Los
Angeles is greater than that of El Paso and Tucson. Mathematically, people are
more likely to move from LA to NY than Tucson to El Paso.
Consequences of Migration:
•These can be subdivided into 3 categories:
1.Demographic Consequences:
• Changes in the numbers and distribution of people within a region.
• Some areas become overpopulated while others become under populated.
2. Social Consequences:
• Migration brings different people together sometimes leading to conflicts.
•Migration however also creates understanding between different groups of people.
•Intermarriages happen which bring about a new group of people.
•Rural-Urban migration creates ghettoes and slums in cities.
3. Economic Consequences:
• This depends on the "quality" of the migrants and the economic needs of the origin and
destination. Quality refers to skills, age, educational attainment, health etc.
• In overpopulated areas, emigration is beneficial because it reduces the pressure on the
land.
• In under populated areas, emigration may slow down development.

Migration Terms:

Guest Workers: People who are invited by more developed countries to fill the
jobs open due to a shortage of workers. This is happening most in Northern
Europe today, with workers coming from Southern Europe or from other
continents.

Distance decay: Prospective migrants are likely to have more information on
near places than far places, therefore people are more likely to move short
distances than long.

Step migration: Many migrants actually move in smaller steps instead of one
big long distance move. The migrant moves to another small town first followed
by a move to a bigger town and then to a big city.
Most emigration from a country actually started with a move by the migrant to a
big city (the capitol) in their country before they decided to migrate out. Most
were hoping to get a good job in their own country before they decided to
emigrate out.
24

25
Migration Terms:


Chain Migration: has multiple meanings. It refers to the social
process by which immigrants from a particular town follow
others from that town to a particular city or neighborhood,
whether in an immigrant receiving country or in a new, usually
urban, location in the home country. The term also refers to
the process of foreign nationals immigrating to a new country
under laws permitting their reunification with family members
already living in the destination country.
Quotas: In reference to migration, a maximum limit on the
number of people who can immigrate to a country.

Refugee: People who are forced from their home and can not
return for fear of persecution for who they are.

Asylee: Same as refugee except the asylee is already out of the
country when they become fearful for their lives should they
return home. Make sure to note the difference between an
asylee and a refugee.
26
Migration Terms:

Brain Drain: Large-scale emigration of talented people.

Illegal Immigration: Illegally migrating to a place without specific
permission by that country.

Intervening Obstacle: An environmental or cultural feature that hinders
migration. The migrant planned to go one place but ended up in another.
27
International Migration Trends:

Movement from Southern hemisphere to
Northern hemisphere (Examples…to the US from
Latin America.)

Movement from poor regions to rich areas
(Examples?)

Movement from tension areas (war, political
instability) to peaceful areas (Examples?)

Movement from rural areas to urban centers
28
Zelinsky’s Migration Transition

Geographer W. Zelinsky has discovered that there is a
migration transition that parallels the Demographic
Transition.

Countries in stage 2 of the DTM will have international
emigration, as people leave the country looking for jobs in
other lands. They will also have interregional migration of
people in their country moving to the cities in their country
looking for jobs.

Countries in stage 3-4-5 of the DTM will have more internal
migration of people looking for better jobs and will also
have immigration of people coming from stage 2
countries.

What specific factors help migrants choose a destination?
Economic conditions: Poverty has been the single most important cause of
migration.
Political circumstances: People fleeing or exiled from a bad government is another
big creator of migration. Some people are escaping and some people have been
forced out. Jews fleeing NAZI Germany in the 1930’s or 125,000 Cubans forced out of
Cuban in 1980 are just a few of the many examples.
Armed conflict or Civil War: War from outside or inside the country forces many
people to move.
Environmental conditions: A natural disaster like a drought or earthquake causes
people affected by the problem to move.
Culture and Traditions: If a power from another culture group takes over a country, people
from another culture often feel threatened and they may move to areas where they feel
their culture group is safer.
38
When the nation of Israel was created in 1948, half of the land known as
Palestine was given to the Jews. Arabs who lived in the Jewish half didn’t feel
safe and many migrated to the Arab half of Palestine.
Technological Advances: Today’s world is far easier to travel in than the
world of 200 or even 60 years ago. More people are willing to take the big
step of migration than before. Kinship links (family members who have
already moved to that area) attract people. This often creates chain
migration. Chain migration comes from migrants arriving in an area and
contacting people back home, telling them how good the new place is. They
often attract more family members and friends to now migrate to the new
area. This can often create immigration waves in which large groups of
immigrants arrive in a short time.
Where do people migrate? Migration is not as simple as people just move
from one place to another for a better job. It is much more complicated than
that, as people move for lots of reasons and to different places at different
times.
39
Remittances: Remittances are payments sent from workers in one country back to their
families in the country they came from. Much of this is done from businesses like AMSCOT
and other check cashing businesses which will send money from one place to another by
electronic mail.
Mexicans living in the United States sent a record $23.1 billion back home in 2006, putting
remittances third after oil and Maquiladora exports as a foreign-exchange generator for
Mexico (Chart 1). Over the last decade or so, inflation-adjusted remittances have grown at an
average annual rate of 15.6 percent. Since 2000, the rate has risen to 20.4
percent.(remittances=$25.8 billion in 2009)

Italy: Scores killed as African migrants' boat capsizes
CBS News, Updated at 7:58 a.m. 10/04/ 2013 ET
42
ROME; A ship carrying African migrants toward Italy caught fire and capsized off the Sicilian island of Lampedusa Thursday, spilling hundreds of passengers
into the sea, officials said. Ninety-four bodies were recovered and more than 200 people were unaccounted for.
Pietro Bartolo, the top health official on Lampedusa, said Thursday he expected the toll to rise as search operations continue. He spoke to Sky TG24.
It was one of the deadliest accidents in recent times during the notoriously perilous crossing from Africa for migrants seeking a new life in the European Union.
In an indication of the scale of the unfolding tragedy, Interior Minister Angelino Alfano canceled his appointments Thursday and headed to Lampedusa to
oversee the rescue operations first-hand. Pope Francis, who visited Lampedusa in July, quickly sent his condolences. "It's an immense tragedy," said
Lampedusa Mayor Giusi Nicolini, adding that the dead included at least one child of about 3 and a pregnant woman. The migrants were from Eritrea,
Ghana and Somalia, the coast guard said.
The boat is believed to have been carrying as many as 500 people. Coast guard ships and helicopters from across the region, as well as local fishing boats
were on the scene trying to find survivors, said coast guard spokesman Marco Di Milla.
Mayor Nicolini said the ship had caught fire after those on board set off flares so it would be seen by passing ships. The ship apparently then capsized, spilling
the passengers into the sea near Conigli island.
It was one of the deadliest migrant shipwrecks in recent times and the second one this week off Italy: On Monday, 13 men drowned while trying to reach
southern Sicily when their ship ran aground just a few yards from shore.
Lampedusa is closer to Africa than the Italian mainland and is the frequent destination for smugglers' boats. Hundreds of migrants reach the shores every
day, particularly during summer months when seas are usually calmer. They are processed in centers, screened for asylum and often sent back home.
Those who aren't usually melt into the general public and make their way to northern Europe, where immigrant communities are much bigger and better
organized. In Italy, migrants can only work legally if they have a work permit and contract before they arrive.
According to the U.N. refugee agency, 8,400 migrants landed in Italy and Malta in the first six months of the year, almost double the 4,500 who arrived during
the first half of 2012. It's still a far cry from the tens of thousands who flooded to Italy during the Arab Spring exodus of 2011.

Free Response Rubric:
Remember, there is no complete right or wrong for Free Response answers. Each FR question
is worth a certain number of points. You pick up points for each part of the question that you
answer. On the AP National exam there will be 3 FR’s which together count as one half of the
exam, and are added to the multiple choice section to make up your total score. On this test,
score your answers for the two FR’s and then add that score to what you got on the multiple
choice part to get your final score for the test.

FR #1:
A1. Brain Drain is when a place loses educated and talented people because they move else ware.
A2. A Guest worker is an invited immigrant who has proper documentation and was recruited to come
to a country to work.
B. Migration stream X represents refugees while migration stream Z shows Guest Workers. X is coming
from southern Sudan, which has been heavily involved in a religious and cultural civil war since the
1990’s. This war is a push factor driving many people away. Europe offers a pull factor as it has job
openings and safety.
Z is coming from Turkey which, unlike Sudan, enjoys a peaceful situation but a shortage of jobs. Those
workers are pulled to Germany which has invited them to come and fill needed job openings.
This FR is worth a possible 25 points.
FR #2:
2A. Any two of the following seven:
1. The greatest body of migrants travel short distances.
2. This produces currents directed towards great commercial centers.
3. Each current has a compensating counter-current in the opposite direction.
4. Both currents display similar characteristics
5. Long distance movements are directed towards great commercial centers.
6. People in urban areas migrate less than people in rural areas.
7. Males migrate more over long distances and females migrate more over short distances.
2B. In your short story, your points will come from you correctly identifying and using the two Ravenstein laws you defined in 2A.
Depending on which of the seven laws you used, your FR should say something like this:
Law #1; You would have written about your first migration being short distance to another place INSIDE Panama.
Law #2; You would have written about your moving to a large city INSIDE Panama ( like Panama City) looking for a job.
Law #3; You would have written about people from the US who moved to Panama
Law #4; You would have written about other people moving for the same reasons you moved. The number one reason is
economic.
Law #5; You would have written that your move to the US took you to a large US city, like Miami or New York.
Law #6; You would have written that your migration started from a small rural community.
Law #7; You would have written that the male members of your family were probably the first to make the move to the US
and/or that the female members of the family moved to a local community before making the final move to the US.
This FR is worth a possible 25 points.
53
Calculating your grade on test #3.
Add how many you got correct on the multiple choice part (50 possible) to how many
points you scored on the FR portion (50 possible)…100 total.
The following scale will show the approximate score if this test were the real AP exam.
Remember that this is an approximation. While 65-74% is normally the range for a
3 on the test, it is not definite. Over the years I have seen scores as low as 60% be the
low portion of a 3 score.
Out of 100 possible points:
65-76 is most likely a 3
77-87 is most likely a 4
88-100 is most likely a 5
Now lets move on to the next chapter/key
topic…the study of Folk and Popular Culture.
