In the packet we read, we saw descriptions to certain words that we learned yesterday.
We saw more information on voluntary and forces migration, migration, mobility, and many more.
Though we saw these words yesterday, this packet gave us a better understanding of the topic.
We finally saw a piece of information that was different than yesterday, we saw yesterday that 9% of the worlds population were international migrants, but in the packet, we saw that only 3% of the worlds population was like that. Hopefully tomorrow we find out the truth behind this statistic and find out why the two are different in percentage.
