seasonal movement of animals from one region to another.

Movement of people to a new area or country in order to find work or better living conditions:

include push and pull factors 

inpacts both place left and arrived at 

• nternal migration is when people migrate within the same country or region - for example, moving from London to Plymouth.
• International migration is when people migrate from one country to another - for example, moving from Mexico to the USA.

Two key migration terms

• Emigration - when someone leaves a country.
• Immigration - when someone enters a country.

• economic migration - moving to find work or follow a particular career path
• social migration - moving somewhere for a better quality of life or to be closer to family or friends
• political migration - moving to escape political persecution or war
• environmental causes of migration include natural disasters such as flooding

A refugee is someone who has left their home and does not have a new home to go to. forced migration 

Push and pull factors

Push factors are the reasons why people leave an area. They include:

• lack of services
• lack of safety
• high crime
• crop failure
• drought
• flooding
• poverty
• war

Pull factors are the reasons why people move to a particular area. They include:

• higher employment
• more wealth
• better services
• good climate
• safer, less crime
• political stability
• more fertile land
• lower risk from natural hazards

push factors often link directly to pull factors ie. lack of fertile land and moving to place with fertile land

Asylum seekers and refugees do not get large handouts from the state

• Asylum seekers do not come to the UK to claim benefits. In fact, most know nothing about welfare benefits before they arrive and had no expectation that they would receive financial support.
  (Refugee Council, Chance or Choice? Understanding why asylum seekers come to the UK, 2010)
• Most asylum seekers are living in poverty and experience poor health and hunger. Many families are not able to pay for the basics such as clothing, powdered milk and nappies.
  (The Children's Society Briefing highlighting the gap between asylum support and mainstream benefits, 2012 Independent Asylum Commission citizens’ inquiry in The Independent, 2007)
• Almost all asylum seekers are not allowed to work and are forced to rely on state support – this can be as little as £5 a day to live on.
• Asylum seekers do not jump the queue for council housing and they cannot choose where they live. The accommodation allocated to them is not paid for by the local council. It is nearly always ‘hard to let’ properties, where other people do not want to live.
• Asylum seeking women who are destitute are vulnerable to violence in the UK. More than a fifth of the women accessing our therapeutic services had experienced sexual violence in this country. (Refugee Council, The experiences of refugee women in the UK, 2012)
• Asylum Seekers do not receive more benefits than pensioners in UK (UK Parliament briefing paper, 2012)

animal migration 



Migration is the usually seasonal movement of animals in pursuit of food, suitable breeding sites or to escape bad weather or other environmental conditions. Mass migrations - such as the wildebeest crossing the Mara River, or Pacific salmon heading upstream to mate - create some of the world's greatest wildlife spectacles.
