Document Summary

Defining migration: newbold doesn"t talk about force migration, focused on western phenomenon (north america + europe, traffickers are capturing these people as well. Geography and migration: scale and movements are interrelated with one another. Time and migration: 5 year standard way of understanding movement, data is often much lower than reality. Why do people migrate: pull factors - see something happening somewhere else, becomes a driving force to make decision to move, push factors, e. g. when your in place a you cant find work. Issue of household is a large role: better home/apt + cheaper housing + establishing household = 1/3 of data, main reason for movement has to do with jobs and housing. Micro-behavioral approaches: newbold doesn"t take into consideration history. The job-search model, residential model, and life-cycle theory: e. g. most people live in southern ontario because in northern ontario there isn"t much hospitals, schools, high cost of food, snowbirds - relocating to somewhere warmer.
