POPULATION STUDIES

Theme 2: Population Movement

Lesson 1: Introduction to Migration Models

Key Questions: What is the migration model? What are New Zealands key population statistics? Do Now: Guess the answers to the following: 1. How many people live in NZ? 2. What percentage of the population live in the North Island? 3. How many people live in Auckland? 4. What are the four biggest cities in NZ?

Fact File: Reasons for Migration

Migration is when people leave one place to set up home somewhere else. There are FOUR main reasons for migration: Economic, Political, Social, Physical/Natural

Activity 1: In a Perfect World

1. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?

2. Give FOUR reasons for your choice one for each of the main reasons above.

Fact File: Migration Models

A migration model summarizes the reasons and issues surrounding the movement of people from one place to another.

It consists of the following components: Origin: Where the people move from Destination: Where the people move to Push factors: Negative aspects of the origin Pull factors: Positive aspects of the destination Issues: Positive and negative consequences of the movement of people for both the origin and the destination Obstacles: Things that prevent people from moving, even if they want to Interactions: How people can communicate between the two places Counterflow: The movement of people back to the origin

Lesson 2: External Migration in NZ

Key Questions: What are the five main migration trends in NZ? What causes NZers to move to Australia? What causes people from Asia/Pacific to come to NZ?

Do Now: Complete the worksheet from yesterday (New Zealand General Population Info)

You lose your job when the sawmill closes PUSH (Economic) Housing costs a lot more in the city than where you live now OBSTACLE (Economic) Moving costs are very high OBSTACLE (Economic) You want to improve your qualifications PULL (Social) Your girlfriend lives in the city PULL (Social) There are a lot more jobs in the city PULL (Economic) An earthquake wrecked the sawmill PUSH (Natural) Your father was injured in a tractor accident OBSTACLE (Social)

Fact File: Types of Voluntary Migration in NZ

1. External: NZ to Australia 2. External: Asia/Pacific to Auckland

3. Internal: Rural to Urban drift

4. Internal: Urban to Rural Counterflow

5. Internal: IntraUrban Drift

Activity 1: External Migration

1. Take a copy of the worksheet with the two migration models on it. Complete the Migration Type, Origin and Destination. Dont glue it in. 2. Read page 25 to 29 and try to complete both migration models with as many specific details as possible. Aim for AT LEAST three things for each box. Write small. You can use your own ideas, but try to get as much specific info as possible.
Share information with each other.

Fact File: External Migration NZ to Australia

2.3% of the Australian population is New Zealand-born. Australian unemployment rate = 4.9%; NZ unemployment rate = 6.6% Australian workers on average are paid 30% more than NZ workers For every skilled worker that leaves NZ for Australia, the NZ government loses about $15,000 in tax and wasted education costs.

44% of NZ businesses report skill shortages and difficulty in finding the right person for the job (world average = 34%)
30% of the immigrants from New Zealand to Australia were born outside of NZ, so Australians complain that it is like a back-door entry for unskilled migrants. NZers got a bad reputation for arriving in Australia and then going on welfare, but since 2001 they now have to wait 2 years

Fact File: External Migration Asia/Pacific to NZ

Auckland is now the largest Polynesian city in the world.
Demand for labourers in NZ attracted many Polynesians during the 60s and 70s. Social impacts of the migration on the islands include loss of language, agricultural skills and traditional arts and crafts.

The last 15 years have seen a massive increase in Asian immigration, since the country of origin criterion was removed from visa applications. Asian immigrants have contributed millions of dollars to the NZ economy, and has strengthened trade links with Asian countries Because most immigrants arrive and stay in Auckland, house prices have increased dramatically. On average, a house in Auckland doubles in price every nine years. Many Asians are attracted to NZ for the lifestyle, and for education especially to learn English.

Practice Paragraphs: (a) Choose ONE of the External Migration Patterns. In your paragraph, explain TWO reasons why people move (Push or Pull factors), and ONE obstacle to that movement. Use specific data in your answer. (b) For the same migration pattern as in (a) explain TWO issues created by this migration, in either the origin or the destination.

Activity 1: Internal Migration

1. Using the map on page 17 as a a guide, draw a precis map of the NORTH ISLAND and show, using labels and arrows, the migration patterns 1 and 2 on the worksheet. 2. Using the map of Auckland on the next slide, draw a precis map of Auckland showing all the suburbs and the movement from Auckland City to Waitakere with an arrow.

Practice Exam on Monday BRING A RULER! RULER! RULER! Skills Exam: - Drawing graphs - Latitude and longitude - Grid references - Precis map - Geographic Concepts Population Exam: Contour lines (including underwater) Reading resources/maps/charts Direction (of rivers too!) Climate graphs Measuring distance

Population Distribution (India) natural and cultural factors that explain

Indias population density and distribution. You need to know the five main areas of India, the density of each area, and why they have high, medium or low densities with specifics.

Population Migration (New Zealand) you need to know push/pull factors,

obstacles and issues for at least ONE of the external migration patterns and at least ONE of the internal migration patterns, with examples. You may also need to show this on a map. External: 1. NZ Australia 2. Asia/Pacific NZ Internal: 1. Rural to Urban drift (Northland Auckland) 2. Urban to Rural Counterflow (Auckland Waikato/Bay of Plenty) 3. Intra-Urban Migration (Auckland City Waitakere)

What You Can Do Today: 1. Skills Book p26-27 Complete and check answers ask me if you dont understand why you got any of them wrong. You should be aiming for 100% on a question like that. 2. The big green skills book choose a map and answer questions related to: distance direction (including rivers) evidence (e.g. What evidence is there on the map that mining is an important industry?) grid references

Or try pg 21 New Zealand geography questions (incl. latitude and longitude) Or try pg 24 Q6-10 to study climate graphs 3. Write a paragraph from memory explaining the population density of India for either natural or cultural factors. Have me check it. 4. Write a paragraph explaining the reasons why people move from NZ to Australia and have me check it. 5. Learn the specifics for ONE of the internal migration patterns. Sketch a simple migration model for it. 6. List all the issues created by ONE external migration trend and ONE internal migration trend.
