To support Module 1 work

Hi all
Great to meet you all at Mawson Lakes and Magill during out tutes. As mentioned, here is the posting to support our discussions on migration. Have a good look at these sites and I am sure you will be informed and even surprised by what they tell you about migration and population around the world. 

Remember to do the readings, double entry journal and activities as outlined on the Uni SA site for Module 1. 

*  Here is the link to the Australian National Maritime Museum migration stories (link did not work on Uni SA site).

**  Assignment 1 instructions/guide presentation

Some sites on population to check out

* Migration flows
This interactive migration map allows you to see for every country in the world either the top ten providing countries of lifetime migrants or the top ten receiving countries of lifetime migrants. On top of that, when you let your mouse hover over a country, you can see the total population, the GDP per capita, the HIV and Tuberculosis prevalence and the death rate of children under five.

Population pyramids

This interactive site enables you to see the age-sex pyramids for every country in the world. A great resource for comparison across the globe and awareness of diversity in age-sex structures between countries. The pyramids raise many question as to why they are the shape they are. The pyramids also go back in time and project forward - fascinating.









* World population clock


* The Poodwaddle clock

* World population data interactive map from the Population Reference Bureau. This site provides excellent data updates in tabular form, as well as a user friendly interactive data map for every region and country in the world.
