Which term refers to movement of people within a country?

• A. Internal Migration
• B. Immigration
• C. Urbanization
• D. Progressive

Answer: (A)

Internal migration is the movement of people within the borders of the same country. It covers moving from one region or state to another, or from rural areas to cities, all without crossing into another country. This distinguishes it from immigration, which is entering a country from abroad, and emigration, which is leaving one's country. Urbanization is a related idea focused on the concentration of people in cities, often a type of internal movement, but the broad term for moving within a country is internal migration. Progressive is not related to population movement.
