Migration

• Today over 190 million people live outside the country of their birth, thus are officially designated as migrants by international agencies.
• One of the main reasons people have globalization is because of the money.
• Of the 190 million a third of them ended up in Japan, Germany, France, Canada, the United States, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
• Some people leave for some really scary reasons not just because of money. To just run away from the country
• Refugee: A person who flees his or her country
• Push factor: he has to move away
• Pull factor: He wants to go to another country because of different opportunity's
• 2 different types of migration if you leave London and go to America you are a emigrating to America and you are immigrating from London.
• Net migration rate: the number of people coming in and out of the country

Canada gets more emigrants than America
