释义
immigration

Geography
  • The movement into another country of someone as a permanent resident. Governments may try to restrict immigration by using quotas, discounting family ties, or being reluctant to accept asylum seekers or refugees (Kofman (2002) Pol. Geog. 21, 8). Skenderovic (2007) Patterns Prej. 41, 2 identifies the definition and exclusion of the Other as characteristic of radical-right politics, while Abu-Laban and Garner (2005) Urb. Aff. Rev. 40, 4 compare the Canadian view of immigration (as a national policy) with that of the USA (as individual choice). See Liu (2001) Soc. & Cult. Geo. 1, 2 on space, place, and scale, and the construction of racial-ethnic and immigrant identities.


Economics
  • Movement of foreign nationals to reside in a country; this does not include people on short visits, for business, study, or as tourists. Immigrants may arrive with the intention of permanent settlement, arrive with the intention of returning home after a prolonged stay, or be uncertain at the time of arrival how long they will wish to stay. Immigration is motivated by ‘push’ and ‘pull’ factors. Push factors could be poverty or persecution in the country migrants are leaving; pull factors could be economic opportunity or freedom in the country they move to.
