Syed Kazim:
--- Quote ---- Describe and suggest reasons for population migrations. Reference should be made to internal movements such as rural-urban migration as well as to international migrations both voluntary and involuntary.
--- End quote ---
Migration is broadly divided into two: Voluntary and Forced.
The causes of voluntary migration, to mention a few, are:
* Employment - to either find a job, to earn a higher salary or to avoid paying tax
* Pioneers developing new areas.
* Trade and economic expansion.
* Territorial expansion.
* Better climate, especially on retirement.
* Social amenities, such as hospitals, schools and entertainment.
* To be with friends and relatives.
The causes of forced migration, to mention a few, are:
* Religious and/or political persecution.
* Wars, creating large numbers of refugees.
* Forced labour as slaves or prisoners of war.
* Racial discrimination.
* Lack of food due to famine.
* Natural disasters caused by floods, drought, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or hurricanes.
* Overpopulation, when the number of people living in an area exceeds the resources available to them.

Migration is also divided according to the origin and destination. There are several, example:
* Urbanisation.
* Counterurbanisation.
* Regional
Migration usually occurs due to 'pull' and 'push' factors.
For example, during the Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century, many people in Britain were either:
* forced to leave the countryside ('push' factors causing rural depopulation)
* attracted to the growing towns and cities ('pull' factors leading to urbanisation)
Examples of 'push' factors:
* Older, poorer-quality housing.
* Exhaustion of mineral (coal/iron ore).
* Decline of older industries (ships/steel/textiles).
* Poorly paid, mainly manual, jobs.
* Many polluted former industrial environments.
Examples of 'pull' factors:
* Newer, better-quality housing.
* Growth of newer/lighter/footloose industries
* Better-paid, more skilled jobs.
* Better transport links (motorways/rail/airports)
* Fewer polluted industrial environments.
