Document Summary
Migration - movement from one place to another. Globalization - increasing connectedness between places, the increasing movement of people due to increased technology. Generally settler nations - where most people settle, areas of settlement are still concentrated, regardless of increased movement of people. People are moving for work, asylum, business class, family reunification. People are moving to areas where they can maintain their ethnicity/culture, still connected to their home country. Settling in a way that isn"t just about one place, people are connected to multiple places. These places become more connected as a result. Promote out migration - push -repressive government, weak economy, social institutions are weak, Attract migrants - pull - economic opportunity, safety/freedom, social institutions. Why settle in the city - social capital (having resources within the community, networks) housing market, higher job availability. Economy is a main determinant in migration - for canada. Race restriction/european selection - would be able to better assimilate/apart of the dominant culture.
