Unit 8: Population - Impacts of migration

Impacts of migration (from bitesize)

Migration has an impact on the place that has been left behind as well as on the place that is being migrated to. These impacts can be both positive and negative. The table shows how migration from Turkey to Germany affects the two countries.
