What is the main difference between in-migration and out-migration?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: In-migration concerns entrants and out-migration concerns leavers

The correct answer is A. In-migration means people enter a particular place from somewhere else. Out-migration means people leave that place for another destination. The difference is therefore the direction of movement, viewed from the place being studied. In-migration generally adds to that place’s population, while out-migration generally reduces it. Option A is correct because it identifies entrants and leavers accurately. Option B is wrong because births and deaths are natural population events, not names for directions of migration. Option C is wrong because migration is about movement of people, whereas birth rate is a demographic rate. Option D is wrong because migration can change both the size and distribution of population. These terms must always be understood relative to a particular area: a person leaving one place may simultaneously be an entrant into another place. Memory cue: “in” means into the area; “out” means away from the area.
