Task 1
Since 1985, migrations have increased. 80% of the immigrants come from underdeveloped countries. What are the reasons for these migrations?
People migrate for the ultimate goal of having a better life. The steps to achieve this goal is basically having a good base economy, so people travel to developed countries in order to have better job opportunities so they can get higher economic rentability.
Task 2
The average number of children per woman is 3, but different races or people from different countries have more or less children, which are the main reasons for this difference?
Economically, women with less economical balance should have less children, but instead, they have more because they believe their children can turn into productive entities to help the families economy.
Socially, birth-control methods have become more popular and heavily used in developed countries, greatly diminishing the number of children per woman.
