Social Reflection

SCOTLAND

In term Two I conducted a social Inquiry on Migration. My social inquiry focused on the movement of migrants from Scotland to New Zealand. The push reason why Scottish left their country of origin was the war that broke out in Scotland. The war was causing Scottish people to come to New Zealand. They all settled in Otago, Where they were able to get better futures and live freely. While they were in Otago they got jobs as Farmers,miners from fife and being shopkeepers.  Also some of the Scottish where orphanages that came to New Zealand. By 1936 the number of scots increased, That was the highest it’s been ever since 1886. The Pull reason to why Scots came to New Zealand was because they were able to find themselves better futures. Almost half of the scots that moved to New Zealand in 2013 were all professional workers.
