Fascinating Fact:

Moving to live in a new place is called migration, and it can happen within the same country or between different countries.

In KS3 Geography, pupils learn how migration changes where people live and work. They explore reasons why people move, compare internal and international migration, and consider how migration affects population size and structure in different regions.

  • Migration: The movement of people from one place to another to live, either within a country or between different countries.
  • Push factors: Negative reasons that encourage people to leave an area, such as lack of jobs, war or natural disasters.
  • Pull factors: Positive reasons that attract people to a new area, such as better work, safety, education or healthcare.
What does migration mean in KS3 geography?

In KS3 geography, migration means people moving to live in a new place for more than a short visit, either within their own country or to another country.

What are push and pull factors of migration?

Push factors are problems that encourage people to leave, like poverty or conflict. Pull factors are attractions, such as good jobs, safety or higher living standards in another place.

How does migration affect population in a country?
