Definitions

• Migration: The movement of people, involving a change of residence. It can be internal or external and voluntary or forced. It does not include temporary circulations such as commuting or tourism.

• Migrant: A person who (1) belongs to a normally migratory culture who may cross national boundaries, or (2) has fled his or her native country for economic reasons rather than fear of political or ethnic persecution.

Ravenstein: Why do people migrate?

• Push factors are the reasons why people leave an area, known as the source.

• Pull factors are the factors that attract people to a new place, known as the host.

Limitations of Models

• All models are simplistic representations of reality. They contain hidden assumptions that can be unrealistic:

• all people are free to migrate.• all people have the skills, education and

qualifications which allow them to move. • there are minimal barriers to migration, such as

race, class, income, language and gender. • distance is not a major factor in migration.
