The population is unevenly distributed  because many factors.
People prefer leaving in the cost and not in high altitudes like peaks, or  mesetas. In addition, the weather is an important fact. Nevertheless places like Madrid or Valladolid are very populated due to their big and strong industry, and economical estability.

A lomos de la bestia

Hello  guys here I attach the link of a documentary I have recently watch at shool. It is realy greate馃憣, I promise. https://vimeo.com/80908924
1- Explain the document
The documentary shows the multiple difficultes that illegal Sudamerican immigrants must avoid to reach United States of America hoping a better life. All these excluded people enter ilegaly  through the Guatemalan border traveling 5000 kilometers north on a freigh train which they call: “the beast”.

2-Why id the train called ¨La Bestia¨?
During the voyage many people die due to drug cartells. They are assaulted, robbed, tortured or kidnapped, some others lose their legs or even their arms, as a result of fallings from the train. Besides, to have an idea of how ofull is this trip, it is enough to know that between the 65% of women that travell onto it, finish raped. Because of all this terrible information, it is called “the beast”.

3-What countries are the immigrants from?

Immigrants who travel on this train come from Sudamerican countries like M茅xico, Guatemala or Panama. 


4-What is the academic and profesional experience of the immigrants?
One of the best parts of immigration is the fact that well academic prepared people come to your country ready to work, pay taxes and expent their money. this is something which we can see in the documentary. Some of the migrants were welders, carpenters, or even lorry drivers . Most of them have families, and others even children, however what all of them have is a past, dreams, something to fight for.

5-What dangers do immigrants face during the trip?
Immigrants hwo decide to travel on the beast must face many dangers. They usualy are assaulted, robbed, tortured or kidnapped, some others lose their legs or even their arms, as a result of fallings from the train. In addtion between the 65% of women that travell onto it, finish raped. Nevertheless the train is not the only illegal route they must face to reach USA. There are about 50 blind points all around the frontier. Rivers, paths through forests can help or kill them.

6-What type of migration routes are described in the documentary ?
The immigrants who apear in the documentary travel throug south-norh routes.

7-Explain the consecuences of migrtions for both the countries that sends emmigrants and the countries which receive immigrants?


All these migration causes many consecuences for both countries, the ones which send and the one which receive.

Many immigrants do not have modals, they throw trash around, urinate publicy and harass women. Indeed, the neighborhoods throughout the country that have seen the appearance of hordes of  illegal day laborers, have noticed a declination of American citizens, and property  of nearby neighborhoods has fallen as well.

The illegal workers certainly are cheaper than native-born Americans, but the value of the menial jobs most perform landscaping unskilled labor is exceeded by the real cost of their presence. Overpopulated schools, larger classrooms and more expenditure for bilingual and specialized programs. Illegals commonly use food stamps and other forms of welfare, driving up these costs. They have been mayor users of public health allocations and emergency medical services all of which translate into higher taxes, which few of them pay.  Conversely the landscapers and construction companies are well satisfied with the cheap labour because they can shunt off the real costs to everyone else.



8-Give your opinion , explain something that you liked or not and explain why.



To sum up, USA´unemployment increases and conflicts caused by illegal immigrants raise up. However, cheap labour and real increase do it. In addition M茅xico is sending out many good people, nevertheless, due to it,  the families of these immigrants receive money from them to live.
I really liked the documentary, I think that shows in an incredible way the suffers of many people with the only purpose of having a better live.

ANALYSIS OF A POPULATION PYRAMID


ANALYSIS

A population pyramid is a graph that shows the structure of a society by sex and age at a given time and place. The pyramid we are analyzing shows the demographic structure of country 2 in 2012. 
Observing the sex ratio we can say that more boys are born than girls. However, the ratio matches at the 65-69 age group, and when we look at the top of the pyramid we can clearly see that women have a higher life expectancy. The main reasons for that might be that apart from genetics, they also have a healthier lifestyle and they have traditionally been less exposed to demanding or dangerous jobs.
The shape of the pyramid shows a contractive population with convex sides. In addition, the structure of the pyramid exhibits declining birth rates and the flattening slope of the pyramid represents low death rates. According to this, we can mantain that country 2 is turning into an ageing society.This is confirmed by the size of the working population group, which is the largest one, as they will become old dependants in the future.
There are some irregularities in the profile of the pyramid,The 60-64 interval shows a bump due to a post-war baby boom.  While in the 1973-1977 generation we can see a notch, probably produced by decreasing natality during the 1973's Oil Crisis.
The pupulation of Country 3 is going to witness  very low birth rates, longer life expectancy and a higher dependency ratio, so it is going to become a stage 4 country with a contractive population. Possible solutions to these problems might be that the goverment can provide natality incentives to improve birth rates and also consider budget for pensions and retirement expenses for their old dependents.
