Answer :
Final answer:
2) There would be a predominance of men among short distance migrants, and women in long-distance migration
One of Ravenstein's 'Laws' of migration about the relative migration of men and women has generally shown to not be true with regards to contemporary Canada.
Explanation:
Ravenstein's 'Laws' of migration include several generalizations about migration. One of these laws states that there would be a predominance of men among short distance migrants, and women in long-distance migration. However, this particular law has generally been shown to not be true with regards to contemporary Canada.
In fact, in the early twentieth century, when large-scale migration to North America increased, most immigrants were men seeking land, wealth, and opportunity in the 'New World'. This contradicts Ravenstein's estimates of female migration.
