Question

For a nation as a whole, disregarding international migration, in-migration equals outmigration. Then which of the following scenario is correct?

The correct answer is
Net migration is always zero

Understanding Net Migration

Net migration measures the difference between the number of people entering a region (in-migration) and the number of people leaving that region (out-migration).

The formula for net migration is:

$Net Migration = In-migration - Out-migration$

Analyzing the Scenario

  • The question specifies a scenario for a nation as a whole.
  • It explicitly states to disregard international migration, focusing solely on internal population movements.
  • Crucially, the condition given is: $In-migration = Out-migration$

Calculating Net Migration

Using the formula and the given condition:

$Net Migration = In-migration - Out-migration$

Since $In-migration$ is equal to $Out-migration$, we substitute:

$Net Migration = In-migration - In-migration$

Or,

$Net Migration = Out-migration - Out-migration$

Therefore:

$Net Migration = 0$

Conclusion

Based on the definition of net migration and the specific condition that in-migration equals out-migration within the nation (excluding international flows), the net migration for the nation must be zero.
