Introduction
In Population Geography, migration has been considered as one of the main topics to be analysed.
The migratory movements are people's displacements that go toward other countries or places from their place of origin, where they hope to find a job and power to satisfy certain basic necessities..

1) Immigration
-1.1 What is it?
the entrance of people from another place. People that have carried out these displacements are immigrants.
For example: from África people immigrate to Andalusia using small boats risking their life.
Many times people that immigrate travel unlawfully

-1.2 Immigration now
Now the immigration in Andalusia is very abundant. It is caused by poor economy, social causes (for example religion, politics..) and natural causes.

-1.3 Immigration in the past
- The Andalusian federation “Acoge” was born in the year 1991 with the union of four associations : Seville Welcomes, Almería Welcomes, Granada Welcomes, and Málaga Welcomes; the idea was to join their efforts to give a more effective and more global answer to the incipient phenomenon of the immigration. It is constituted as an NGO that develops its work among foreign immigrant people.

1.4 Where are immigrants from?

2) Emigration
-2.1 What is it?
- The emigration consists of leaving your own country or your own region to settle down in another place.
-2.2 Emigration now
- It is low because the condition of life in Andalusia is good; we have a flourishing economy , moderate climate, modern businesses, beaches…

2.3 Emigration in the past
In the past the volume of emigration in Andalusia was high because Andalusia had a poor economy.
People emigrated to countries such as France,Germany...etc and they worked in these countries to send money to their families here in the native land. Andalucia was going through a crisis. Andalusia, a land which attracted emigrants up to the half of the 19th century, went through very difficult times and many women and men had to leave and say goodbye to their beloved ones.

Among the reasons of this emigration we have the invasion of the Phylloxera, (1877-1878), an infection that ended up with wine agriculture and exportation especially in Malaga, Granada, Almeria and Cadiz, the droughts and corresponding famines of 1866, 1882 and 1887, the collapse of the incipient Andalusian industry reflected in the closing of the blast furnace in Seville in 1888 and The Concepcion (Marbella) in 1891, or the crisis of the textile industry of Malaga.

-2.5 How does it affect Andalusia?
It affects badly because the population decreases but on the other hand emigrants bring more money to Andalusia because they save money for their families.
