“Immigration is migration to a location, emigration is migration from a location.”
“Forced Migration occurs when someone is involuntarily caused to migrate against their own choice.”
Examples of Forced Migration • The Atlantic Slave Trade • British relocation of prisoners to Australia • US relocation of Native Americans • Forced Counter-migration back to a country of origin.
What kind of land were the Native Americans being forced to migrate to?
A refugee is a person leaves their home because they are forced out but not because they are officially relocated or enslaved.

Connections to Demographic Transition • Geographer Wilbur Zelinsky identified a migration transition, which consists of changes in a society comparable to those in the demographic transition model • The migration transition is a change in the migration pattern in a society that results from the social and economic changes that also produce the demographic transition
Connections to Demographic Transition • Stage 1 is characterized by high daily or seasonal mobility in search of food rather than permanent migration to a new location • Stage 1 is essentially Internal migration.
Connections to Demographic Transition • International migration is primarily a phenomena of countries in stage 2 of the demographic transition • Stage 2 is at the point when Internal migration becomes especially important, as does interregional migration from one country’s rural areas to its cities • Migration patterns in stage 2 are a consequence of technological change, improvements in agricultural practices reduces the number of people needed in rural areas, and jobs in factors attract migrants to the cities in another region of the same country or in another country
Connections to Demographic Transition • In stage 3 of the dtm we generally see international migration as people leave stage 2 countries in search of economic opportunities • Both International and Internal migration • Exist in stages 3 and 4 • The principal form of internal migration within countries in stage 3 and 4 of the demographic transition is intraregional, from cities to suburbs
“I developed 11 laws of migration. These laws examine the reasons for migration, the distance of migration, and the characteristics of migrants.” E.G. Ravenstein
