Today, we are discussing migration, which is defined as the permanent or semi-permanent movement of people from one place to another. Migration can be categorized based on distance as either internal or international. Can anyone give an example of internal migration?
A villager moving to a city like Delhi for a job.
Exactly! And how about international migration?
An IT worker moving from India to the USA.
Great examples! Now, remember the acronym I-P-P? It stands for Internal and Permanent or International. This can help you remember the types.

Let's delve into the causes of migration. What do we mean by push factors?
Things that make people leave their home countries, like lack of jobs or natural disasters.
Right! And what about pull factors?
Attractions like better jobs or education in another country.
Exactly! A quick way to remember this is to think of Push as βbadβ situations pushing people away, and Pull as βgoodβ situations attracting them.

Migration: Causes, Types, and Impacts
Migration is defined as the permanent or semi-permanent movement of people from one place to another, which could be within a country or across international borders. This section elaborates on:
- Types of Migration:
- Based on Distance: Internal (e.g., a villager moving to Delhi) vs. International (e.g., an IT worker moving to the USA).
- Based on Time: Permanent (e.g., family migration) vs. Seasonal (e.g., sugarcane harvesters).
- Causes of Migration:
- Push Factors: Conditions that drive people away from their origin (e.g., lack of jobs, poor education, and natural disasters).
- Pull Factors: Attractions that draw individuals to new locations (e.g., higher wages and better educational facilities).
- Impacts of Migration:
- Positive Effects: Economic growth due to filling labor shortages and cultural exchanges.
- Negative Effects: For origin areas, labor shortages and aging populations; for destination areas, overcrowding and resource pressure.
A case study of Kerala to Gulf migration highlights the complex impacts of migration, where the remittances greatly boost the economy, although they also lead to family separations.

Permanent: Relocating forever (e.g., family migration)
Detailed Explanation
Permanent migration refers to the situation where people move from one location to another with no intention of returning. This could include families who move to a new city or country and plan to stay there indefinitely. It's important to understand that this type of migration is a long-term change in residence rather than a temporary or seasonal move.
Examples & Analogies
Think of permanent migration like planting a tree in a new garden. Once you plant that tree, it grows roots in the new soil and remains there for many years, just as a person who permanently migrates establishes their life in a new place.

Example: Over 300,000 people migrate annually from Uttar Pradesh to Maharashtra for work.
Detailed Explanation
This example illustrates a significant trend of permanent migration, where a large number of people move from Uttar Pradesh to Maharashtra for jobs. This movement not only affects the individuals who are seeking better opportunities but also has implications for the economy and social structures in both regions. Understanding why these migrations occur highlights the search for better living standards and job prospects.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine a family moving from a small town to a big city because they found jobs that pay better and offer more opportunities. Their decision to move reflects a desire for a better lifestyle, similar to how a student might transfer schools for better educational opportunities.
