Discussion
Consider the following statements about migration :
A. Migration has no effect on population size as people emigrate from the country and almost an equal number of them immigrate to the country.
B. International migration is largely from the less developed nations to the more developed nations.
C. Sudan is an example of a country that has experienced a loss in population due to emigration.
Choose the correct option :
Answer: D
Statements B and C are correct, so the answer is Only B and C are correct.
International migration has largely flowed from less developed countries to more developed ones, in search of better jobs (B). Sudan is the textbook example of a country that has lost population through emigration, just as the USA and Australia have gained through immigration (C).
Statement A is false. Migration changes population size whenever emigration and immigration do not balance, and there is no rule that roughly equal numbers come in as go out. That is why some countries gain and others lose people. Every option including A is therefore wrong.
