Migration

People move > migration.

When people move to another country, it is called international migration.


Arne, Juliet and their children have moved from Uganda to the Netherlands.
For Uganda they are emigrants.
For the Netherlands they are immigrants.

Natural and social population growth

The population can change in two ways:

•  by births and deaths: natural population growth.
•  by migration: social population growth.

People who die or leave a country have to be deducted from the growth.

What reasons do people have to migrate?

• Labour migrant: Economic reasons > people looking for work.
• Refugees: Political reasons. Due to war or because people are not allowed to have their own opinions.
• Ecological reasons. For example a long drought.
• Social reasons, such as family reunification and family forming.
