Prepare a model exam answer for either of the following IB Geography exam style questions: With reference to specific examples, examine the advantages of migrations. [12 Marks] With reference to specific examples, examine the disadvantages of migrations. [12 Marks] Advice is answering the advantages of migration exam question: Responses should consider the advantages at both the point of origin of migrations and the final destinations for voluntary and involuntary migrations. These would include, at the origin, factors such as the income derived from remittances and the alleviation of poverty, and the reduction in population pressures and in the demand for resources. At the destinations, the advantages could include higher (or regular) incomes for the migrants and, for the host populations, the availability of labour that carries lower costs and is often unregulated. Reference could also be made to advantages derived from cultural mixing (art, foodstuffs, etc.). The advantages of forced migrations would be for the migrants alone: the provision of food and shelter and of security (either short term or for a longer period). Up to [2 marks] will be given to appropriate, developed examples. The remaining [10 marks] will not necessarily have to be allocated evenly between the origin and destination. These marks will be allocated according to the markband, which can be found below. Advice is answering the disadvantages of migration exam question: Responses should consider the disadvantages at both the point of origin of migrations and the final destinations for voluntary and involuntary migrations. These would include, at the origin, factors such loss of human resources, communities and regions drawn into vicious circles of decline and the premature ageing of a population due to the emigration of younger people. At the destinations, the disadvantages could include pressure on food supplies, housing, jobs, and services, discrimination against immigrants and the predominance of males leading to social problems. Up to [2 marks] will be given to appropriate, developed examples. The remaining [10 marks] will not necessarily have to be allocated evenly between the origin and destination. These marks will be allocated according to the markband, which can be found below. |
