  • Explain How The Cultural Turn Has Affected The Study Of Migration

    How the Cultural Turn has allowed music to be transformed into oral histories: music about migration and the borderland between the USA and Mexico from the album Border Song Introduction This essay will explain how the cultural turn has affected the study of migration through the advent of music. The cultural turn was a movement in the 1980s and 90s that changed how geography is studied (Eyerman, 2004).

Nations with scarce labor supply and high demand will have high wages that attract immigrants from nations with a surplus of labor. The main assumption of neoclassical theory of migration is led by the push factors which cause person to leave and the pull forces which draw them to come to that nation. The Neoclassical theory states that the major cause of migration is different pay and access to jobs even though it looks at other factors contributing to the departure, the essential position is taken by individual higher wages benefit element.
