Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.7 Population and Migration Patterns skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Nation Zerin plans to admit 200,000 workers over five years to address a labor shortage. However, its fastest-growing cities already have limited housing and some employers have been accused of underpaying newcomers.

Which policy package best reduces negative impacts while supporting successful integration?

Aincrease affordable housing supply, enforce labor standards for all workers, and expand language/community support services

Badmit workers without adding housing or enforcing labor rules, and cut school funding

Cblock newcomers from using public transportation to reduce congestion

Dfocus only on building luxury housing and remove worker protections

Solution & Explanation:To manage rapid in-migration, destinations must plan for housing and services and protect workers to prevent exploitation and social tensions. Language and community supports help newcomers participate fully, benefiting both migrants and the host society.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

In a country, the coastal core has most high-wage service jobs and universities. The inland periphery relies on low-profit agriculture. A new highway now connects inland towns to the coastal core in 3 hours instead of 8.

Which migration change is most likely after the highway opens?

Aincreased rural-to-urban and periphery-to-core migration as travel costs fall and opportunities become more accessible

Bincreased migration from the core to the periphery because wages are higher inland

Cno change in migration because transportation does not affect movement

Dmigration from the periphery to the core will stop because highways block travel

Solution & Explanation:Lower travel time reduces distance barriers and makes it easier to access the core's jobs and schools. In a core-periphery system, that typically increases movement toward the core.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A mountain village loses most residents to city jobs. Over time, stone terraces crumble, the weekly market closes, and the annual harvest festival is canceled because too few people remain to organize it.

Which statement best explains the relationship between migration and the village's culture?

Aout-migration always increases the number of festivals

Bmigration has no effect on cultural landscapes or traditions

Cout-migration can weaken cultural practices and change the cultural landscape when fewer people remain to maintain traditions and buildings

Dterraces collapse only because latitude changes

Solution & Explanation:Cultural traditions and built features require people and resources to maintain them. When many residents leave, institutions and physical structures can decline, reshaping both culture and landscape.
