Key term
What are the economic implications of migration for destination countries?
Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
Define push factors in the context of migration.
Model answer
Negative conditions in the origin country that encourage people to leave.
- 2
Define pull factors in the context of migration.
Model answer
Positive conditions in the destination country that attract migrants.
- 3
What processes are involved in migration?
Model answer
Decision-making, journey planning, use of migration networks, and the role of people smugglers and traffickers.
- 4
What are the demographic implications of migration for source countries?
Model answer
Loss of working-age population, altered age-sex structure, and potential population decline.
- 5
What are the demographic implications of migration for destination countries?
Model answer
Population growth, changes to age-sex structure, and increased ethnic diversity.
- 6
What are the environmental implications of migration?
Model answer
Pressure on resources and infrastructure in destination areas, and reduced pressure in source areas.
