Common mistake

Understanding Migration Impacts

Students often confuse the impacts of migration with general population growth, failing to specify how migration specifically affects a city's demographics and economy.

Focus on the unique aspects of migration, such as changes in workforce composition, cultural diversity, and economic contributions, rather than just overall population increases.
