How does migration affect the country that migration is leaving?

That's a terrible answer and there is absolutely no logic backing it. First you need to understand the meaning of migration, which is the movement of people both ways - people leaving and coming into a country. Migration may cause a population increase, undoubtedly if there are more people coming into a country than going out, but this would also also increase a countries demand for services and facilities, opening up jobs in fields like construction, healthcare etc and reducing the unemployment rate which results in more tax revenue and national output which will increase the economy and leave the government with more money to spend as well as more personal income. An increase in population is not always a bad thing if it is done in a controlled way.


How might migration affect population density?

Migration can affect population distribution by causing the population of one area to increase while simultaneously decreasing the population of another. This can also cause one area to be more densely populated than another.

What are immigration and emigration and how do they affect population size?

Migration can increase population size by speading the animals (or people) over a wider area where there may be more resources. Migration (compression) into a single habitable area will increase the population density, but could cause either a numerical increase (more breeding) or a decrease (from limited resources).
