I. Objectives
 discuss migration push and pull factors,
 explain the migration transition and how it relates to the demographic
transition,
 connect factors of globalization to recent trends in migration

II. Content
We've seen how births and deaths affect populations. We can now see how
populations change as a result of migration. We will look at why individuals
migrate within and across nations, how countries strive to regulate migration, and
how illegal migration affects countries in this lesson.

Migration and population

Populations shift as a result of births, deaths, and migration.
Rubenstein describes migration as "a permanent move to a new location."
To see if a country's population is growing or declining through migration, we
calculate net migration, the difference between immigration (migration to a
place) and emigration (migration from a place).

The study of migration is essential to human geography. People who migrate have
an impact on both the place they emigrate from and the place they immigrate to.
civilizations collide, resulting in the formation of new, syncretic (mixed)
civilizations and, at times, conflict. Population dynamics, political and ethnic
geography, economic geography, and even physical geography are all reflected in
migration.

Migration Push and Pull Factors

People migrate for a variety of reasons, some of which are interconnected. These
reasons are known as push and pull forces, and they might be classified as
economic, cultural, or environmental. These reasons can either cause people to
choose to migrate, known as voluntary migration or force them to migrate, known
as forced migration.

International and Internal Migration

Internal migration, or a permanent shift within a country, is common Internal
migrants are those who relocate permanently within a country. The essential term
here is permanent, which means that the transfer is for an extended length of time.
International migration is the permanent movement from one country
to another.
Chain migration is another aspect of international migration.
migration to a given location due to relatives or other members of the same family
in a country that had previously migrated there

Forced migration
Many times, people do not have much of a choice but to migrate; they are forced
to do so. Migrants are being forced to migrate. People who are compelled to flee
 their homes countries because they are afraid of persecution because of their race,
nationality, or religion Nationality, social group membership, and political beliefs
are all referred to as refugees.
However, not everyone who is forced to migrate becomes an international
refugee. Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are people who are compelled to
relocate from their home communities to another region of their own country.

Undocumented migration
One of the more controversial issues of migration is undocumented immigrants
Undocumented immigrants, also called illegal aliens, are foreign-born people who
do not possess a valid visa or other immigration documentation

III. Conclusion
Human geography's fundamental theme is migration. This form of relocation
spread reflects culture, politics, and the economy, and it has an impact on all three
in both positive and negative ways. Today, global migration has reached
unprecedented heights and will continue to play a key role in discussions of
globalization.
