Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Liverpool's migrations can be divided over time (historical and recent) and over space (national and international).
- Significant national, historical inflows have been from Ireland and Wales.
- International inflows have been both historic and recent.
- Demographic impacts include changes to population, structure and ethnic composition.
- All migrations have impacted on the economic growth and character of Liverpool.
Common misconception
Pupils can think that as the focus of the lesson is about migration, that inflows and outflows are responsible for all population change.
Migration is important to understand when addressing population change but changes to birth and death rates must also be considered alongside for complete understanding.
