Types of Migration • internal migration- the movement of people from rural to urban areas • External migration- on the other hand is the movement of people across long distances and international borders • But both is caused by the same factors
Internal Migration • It made areas urbanize rapidly • In Latin America 50 to 60 percent of people are living in cities • Highly urbanize societies are those of Western and Northern Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and temperate South America and North America • Countries in Asia and Africa barely just began the process of urbanization
Urbanization • Are those who are forced to adjust to a new life style • They often find themselves lacking of necessities • Slums often cause problems with living conditions • Diseases cause problems in their population
External Migration • The reasons why they leave their home countries: • Escape persecution • Search for better jobs • Escape the ravages of war • Better health care • More educational opportunities
