Keywords
Migration - movement of people from place to place
Inflow - migration of people to a place
Outflow - migration of people away from a place
Ethnicity - a term that refers to the backgrounds or shared experiences of a group of people, including language, religion and beliefs
Common misconception
Pupils can think that as the focus of the lesson is about migration, that inflows and outflows are responsible for all population change.
Migration is important to understand when addressing population change but changes to birth and death rates must also be considered alongside for complete understanding.
