International migration in the late twentieth
century illustrates many important
geographic principles.
Population and Migration Review
Distribution, Density, and Scale
Key Vocab
Terms:
A. Define each of the following principles
1. Core-periphery
2. Distance decay
3. Chain migration
B. For each principle part in A, select a
migration stream identified by letter on
them map and discuss how the stream
you choose illustrates the principle.
Note: Each lettered migration stream
may be used only once.

Regional migration patterns within the contiguous United
States are the result of several factors. The map above
shows net migration at the county level, but these data
support generalizations about migration patterns at the
regional scale.
South
Asia
A. Identify two specific regions that have experienced net inmigration.
Southeast
Asia
B.
Identify two specific regions that have experienced net outmigration.
C. Explain the processes that contribute to the general patterns
of migration within the United States shown on
the map in terms of each of the following:
1. Economic structure
2. Friction of distance
3. Age structure of the population
A demographer is wanting to better understand of the population pressures put on Egypt. Which density would be the best to use
(Arithmetic or Physiologic)? Make sure to explain why!!!!
Why is Japan not considered overpopulated, even though physiologic density is so high?
Population Pyramids
Draw a population pyramid for each of the following:
Rapid Growth
The average age of population in selected developed countries listed in the table above have been increasing.
A. Identify and explain two reasons that the average population age is increasing in developed countries.
B. Identify and explain one social consequence and one economic consequence that countries fact as their population’s age.

A. Use the demographic transition model to explain briefly Europe’s development as a source of international migrants between 1800
and 1920.
B. Identify and briefly explain ONE factor other than demographic transition that was responsible for Europe’s development as a
source of migrants to the United States between 1800 – 1920.
C. Briefly explain how THREE aspects of the demographic transition model accounts for Europe’s transformation into a destination
region for migrants from North Africa between 1960 and 2000.
