Creation of Israel
Great Migrations in History The Creation of Israel 1948
The distance characteristics for this specific migration varied greatly; there was people coming from everywhere just to go to the new land of Israel. There were people that were Holocaust survivors looking for a new home, Jews fleeing from Arab lands, and more. Usually when you migrated at this time period you went on foot. You can imagine how hard it is to travel like that: scarce of food and water, tired all the time, traveling all day. It was very hard for them to travel but they did anything they could to get to Israel. Since there were people coming from European countries and others coming from Asia and Africa, their age characteristics differed. People from the European countries were better educated therefore they would go out and find a job rather than having children. Therefore, many of the people that came from there were older and contained very few children. It was very diverse in Asia and Africa with a large number of children and a small elderly population. In 1948, the land in Israel was very rural; they were barely developing but they had a pretty good start off. When they first migrated they had to find a way to start off their life and that was by growing their own crops but not many people were put to do that. They were slowly starting to have businesses because most of the jobs would be to trade or to have a job as a carpenter or a tailor. They were becoming more developed than other new places. As always the male population overpowers the female population in this migration. The majority of the people that migrated here were men but there was still a small amount of women that came. Men work more to uphold the family and its name and they work to keep food on the table.
