Population Movements
1. Define migration. How can it be classified?
Migration is when a group of people move to another place for the same reason. People can be classified refugees or displaced persons: Genuine or economic refugee
2. Outline the features of contemporary international population movements.
- The globalization of migraion
- An increase in the bolume of migration in all regions
- A growing diversity in the type of migration. Most countries with a migrant intake have a mix of immigration categories: labour, refugee, permanent settlement and family reunion
- An increasing proportion of women in all types of migration across all regions. This is particularly the case with labour migration and some refugee movements
- The increasing international mobility of highly qualified personnel
- New movements associated with economic and social change in the newly industrialised countries
3. Outline the main types of international movements.
From one continent to another and one from nation to another. In regions such as Central and South America, reasons vary from refugees and searching for work in a foreign country. Some large scale migrations in Africa are initiated by climatic disasters, military conflict, civil disorder and famine. Other population movements are associated with migrant labour systems established to meet the needs of plantations and mines. In Asia economic powers also play apart in influencing migration. In the Middle East people are recruited for work.
4. Distinguish between resettlement migration and contract migration.
Many people make a conscious choice to migrate and settle permanently in another nation in the hope that they will achieve a better quality of life for themselves and their children. Others seek to be reunited with family members who have previously undertaken the move. However, contract migrations are undertaken for a specified period and are related to contracted employment. Some people work in other countries or nations as guest workers, some move because of business and others yet move to a new nation because they are exchange students and for reasons regarding education.
5. Account for the expansion of business migration.
People migrate to other places for business because they are not successful in their own country, which is why they try to go to other places to get a better standard of living.
6. List the reasons why people are sometimes forced to flee their homeland.
People are sometimes forced to flee their homeland because of war, famine, natural disasters and religious, political and ethnic persecution.
7. How does the United Nations define a refugee? Why is this definition said to be inadequate?
The United nation defines a refugee as being a person who, because of a well-grounded fear of presecution based on his or her race, religion, nationality or political views, cannot return to his or her country of origin without risking serious harm.
8. Outline some of the significant refugee movements since World War II.
Jewish refugees, European Union, France, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Balkans, Chechnya, Georgia, and Nagorna Karabakh.

Reflection
In humanities we read texts about population occurs in the whole world. Than we analyse the texts, understanding the text of "migration". We analyse why people migrate, what if the population explode. After we analyse we suggest ways to create solution to maintain the amount of birth rate and death rate. Such as creating more places to work in order to improve their standard of living.

In this subject I learned about population. Population it self is a community, we are all counted as a community. So basically I analyse of population around the world, get to know other countries population and what's their purposes to migrate, to live, and more. I care and respect about how other countries work hard to migrate because there are push factors on their countries which force them to migrate. I'm proud of the community I live because it have pull factors that we live happy enough already in this community.
