The Zelinsky Model of Migration Transition, [1] also known as the Migration Transition Model or Zelinsky's Migration Transition Model, claims that the type of migration that occurs within a country depends on its development level and its society type. It connects migration to the stages within the Demographic Transition Model (DTM).
Population momentum is a consequence of the demographic transition.Population momentum explains why a population will continue to grow even if the fertility rate declines or continues to decline even if the fertility rate grows.
While an increase in geographic mobility increases overall economic efficiency, the increased competition for jobs on the local level in otherwise prosperous regions could lead to higher unemployment than before the migration. [4] Female labor supply rates actually have larger statistical effect on mobility than male rates. [7]
Zero population growth, sometimes abbreviated ZPG, is a condition of demographic balance where the number of people in a specified population neither grows nor declines; that is, the number of births plus in-migrants equals the number of deaths plus out-migrants. [1]
Human migration is the movement of people from one place to another, [1] with intentions of settling, permanently or temporarily, at a new location (geographic region). The movement often occurs over long distances and from one country to another (external migration), but internal migration (within a single country) is the dominant form of human migration globally.
In demography, replacement migration is a theory of migration needed for a region to achieve a particular objective (demographic, economic or social). [1] Generally, studies using this concept have as an objective to avoid the decline of total population and the decline of the working-age population.
Push and pull factors in migration according to Everett S. Lee (1917-2007) are categories that demographers use to analyze human migration from former areas to new host locations. Lee's model divides factors causing migrations into two groups of factors: push and pull.
