publishing our magazine

Today we worked on our magazine on Migration.  Work on this project will be completed by the end of next week.  I definitely recommend you do some work at home, and especially over the weekend, on this 100-point assignment.

Just to make sure you have this covered, here are a few of the definitions we went over in class:
  • in-migration: people moving into one place from another place within a nation
  • out-migration: people moving out of one place to another place within a nation
  • net internal migration: the numerical difference between in-migration and out-migration
  • movers from abroad: people coming into a nation from another country or part of the world
  • net migration: the difference between net internal migration and movers from abroad
  • internally displaced person (IDP):  someone who is forced to flee their home but who, unlike a refugee, remains within their country's borders.
