This is what we went over in class on October 7th, 2010

Net migration rate - number of people, immigrants/emigrants going in and out of a country

Why might people migrate:
Push factors- The inability to practice religion, find work, or live in a safe life, etc.
Pull factors - Freedom of Speech - the right to protest, assemble, write letters to the editor, etc., freedom to practice what ever religion you want, job opportunities, etc.

United Arab Emirates has the highest net migration rate - 22.98
- they process a lot of oil and they have a lot of money and pay a lot more.

Northern Mariana Islands - -89.70 lowest net migration rate
- they only make 12,005$ a year
unemployment rate - 8%
inflation rate is very good
don't see reason why people are pouring out of that country

population pyramid - an image of a pyramid also called an age structure diagram, is a graphical illustration that shows the distribution of various age groups in a human population.
