Migrations change the number, distribution and composition of the population in
(a) the area of departure
(b) the area of arrival
(c) both the area of departure and arrival
(d) none of the above
Answer:
Explanation:
-
Migration is the movement of people across regions and territories.
-
Migration
can be internal (within the country) or international
(between the countries).
-
Internal migration
does not change the size of the population
but influences the distribution of the population within the nation.
-
Migration plays a very
significant role in changing the composition
and distribution of the population.
-
In India, most m
igrations have been from rural to urban areas
because of the
“push” factor in rural areas.
These are adverse conditions of poverty and unemployment in the rural areas and the
“pull” of the city
in terms of increased employment opportunities and better living conditions.
- Migrations change the number, distribution, and composition of the population in both the area of departure and arrival.
So, the correct option is (c).
