What different types of migration are there?

​Types of migration

​

Internal migration

Internal migration is the movement of people within the same country, which can happen for several reasons.

Younger generations are likely to move to areas which provide better job opportunities, amenities and social lives. An example of this is younger people aged from 20-29 moving to cities such as London, Cardiff and Manchester.

Some people choose to move within the same country to be closer to other family members.

​Types of migration

​

Economic migration

Economic migration is the movement of people for economic gain. People move to countries which can provide a better income.

After joining the European Union, many Eastern Europeans chose to migrate to countries such as France and the UK.

In North America, the much higher wages in the USA compared to its neighbour Mexico mean that many Mexicans move there in search of work.

​Types of migration

​

Forced migration

Forced migration often occurs because of events such as a war which pose a sudden threat to people.

This happened in Syria when a civil war broke out in March 2011. By 2021, 6.6 million Syrians had fled their country. 5.5 million of these refugees found refuge in nearby countries like Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt.

Another 6.7 million Syrians had been forced to move inside Syria itself.

When people leave one country because of persecution or serious danger and ask for protection in another, it is called seeking asylum. People who are waiting for a decision on their claim are known as asylum seekers.

​Conflict

​

Notting Hill, 1958

Notting Hill in west London became a multicultural area due to the migration of people from the Caribbean after the Second World War.

It was a deprived area and there was competition for housing between poor black and white families. Some white people were openly hostile towards the newcomers.

In August 1958, mobs of mainly white youths attacked black people and their homes. The riots lasted a week as black people defended themselves.

The Notting Hill Carnival was established as a response to the riots. It is held annually and is led by the Caribbean community.
