Gross vs. net migration (cont.)
Exercise
Consider a set period of time, for example 10 years. During this period of time there will be a number of migration flows to and from a given area. At the end of the period of time we can discuss the in-migrants and out-migrants who are a product of migration flows during this time.
Which of the following statements is true?
The following question is about the relationship between gross and net migration. Remember that gross migration is the total flow of migrants across a border (in both directions) and net migration is the difference between inward and outward flows.
With those definitions in mind, select the statement which is true.
