3short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.
What are contemporary patterns?Show answer
Contemporary global migration shows recognisable patterns. The dominant direction is from lower-income to higher-income regions, along major corridors: Mexico and Central America to the United States, South Asia to the Gulf states, and Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe to Western Europe. Within rapidly developing countries, internal rural-to-urban migration is enormous, feeding the growth of megacities. The number of international migrants has risen to over million, and Eduqas expects you to read maps of these flows and describe them with named regions, directions and quantities.
