This month BBC News will be carrying a series of dispatches covering the phenomenon of mass migration. The topic of migration is very important in both S and H Grade, so it is worth following.
You need to know about two main types of migration:
Nation to Nation-people moving from one country to another. Eg, Somalia to the UK; Mexicans to the USA; Poles to Scotland. Some migrants are asylum seekers; others are economic migrants; many are simply exercising the right under recent EU law to move freely from one country to another.
Internal-people moving from one region of a country to another; eg, people from the Highlands and Islands to urban areas; Americans moving to Florida and California from more northern states.
For an insight into migration click here to get a detailed case study on China's migration. It is estimated that 345 million people are going to move from the rural areas to the city areas, eg Shanghai, over the next 25 years.
This explains why cities in the Developing World (ELDCs) are growing so fast.
