This is the type of migration that you should select to write about in your external exams which are coming up ever so fast! Basically, rural areas suffer when large numbers of people leave as it is often the young and skilled leaving behind the older generation who are less educated and more resistant to change. This can result in a downward spiral for rural regions and an upward spiral for urban regions. However, the urban regions are not dealing with the exploding populations as they cannot create jobs fast enough or build enough housing to support the people moving into the region.
Click HERE for a recap of the PowerPoint and HERE for the handout about the effects of internal migration and attempts to slow this trend down.
We also briefly looked at external migration in India. Click HERE to download the completed sheet about the two main types of external migration - movement by choice and forced migration.
Hope you enjoyed the excess of handouts today, for tomorrow we write!
Last couple of random points for today:
- As you are currently deciding on your subjects for 2015, it might be worthwhile to check out the information about the course we cover in Level 2 Geography. Click HERE to read and find out more. My favourite part of the course next year is definitely our trip to Tongariro, 4 days of amazing Geo-tastic times, the Tongariro Crossing and you come back with 5 credits!
- ICELAND, last and possibly most important point of the blog for some of you perhaps. As the Classics department are heading off to Italy next year, we are looking at the possibility of combining forces, heading over with them to check out Rome, Vesuvius and Pompeii. Then we were thinking, it's so close perhaps we could take a little hop, skip and a jump and head to ICELAND to check out all the geography. We will keep you posted as more information becomes available, but just something to keep in mind!
