Migrant demographics: Age: 60 years at time of death (7-30 years during migrations). Gender: Female Family status: Migrated with father, mother, older sister, two brothers until the age of 14 where she migrated alone. Social class: Upper-middle class (pre-WWII + literacy) and slave class (indentured laborers). The migrant, unlike global trends, was a young woman and initially emigrated not as an individual looking for work, but with her family as refugees (Fear of American Attack on Home Island, WWII). Subsequently, however, several years after the war, the migrant emigrated for work as a contract worker. Map no. 1: (not to scale) Map no. 2: Migrations within Japan Type of migration: Most of Hayako's migration was inter-regional within the country of Japan, the meaning shifts within different regions of the same country. The migrant never left Japan, but only emigrated from different regions of Japan. An example of her interregional migration is her emigration from the Ryuku Islands where she was born, to Nagasaki on the coast of the mainland. Obstacles that stand in the way: 1) East China Sea - Each of Hayako's migrations has passed through this environmental feature. 2) Cost Push/Pull Factors: (Combined) Push: War, not enough jobs, personal family problems, few opportunities Pull: Family ties, jobs, better living conditions, better medical care The Japanese-American conflict during World War II world was a push factor when she moved to Nagasaki in 1945 as The migrant and her family feared that Amami Oshima (home island) would suffer greatly if the Americans invaded Japan. The atomic bombing of Nagasaki in August 1945 was also a push factor. Problems faced in new locations: Moving within Japan-controlled territory was difficult for the migrant, as there are many countries... half of the paper... ....fixed by the migrant, as almost all immigrations of the migrant they were inter-regional, so he never left the country of Japan. All interregional migrations occurred in the area surrounding the East China Sea. Ravenstein's Laws: Ravenstein's laws are a set of laws proposed in the 1880s that describe trends in human migration. The experience of migrants is linked to many of Ravenstein's laws, for example that most migrants move a short distance and stay in the same country. Almost all of the migrants' immigrants were interregional (stayed in the same country) and short-distance. Another law demonstrated by the migrant is that most long-distance migrants are adult individuals, rather than families with children. When the migrant immigrated internationally to America, she was an adult individual with her husband, rather than her family.
