The Article set up, places an
emphasis on statistical data,
which is meant for official
purposes, so the source might
be incomplete or missing out
on information, as it is a part
of larger research, all of which
we do not see here.
This source talks about where
international migrants reside. Though
statistical inferences, it seems that
many of the migrants inhabit high
income countries, as opposed to
lower income. On the flipside, the
opposite is true regarding refugees.
Identify a value or limitation of
content
Value: Good statistics, lacks bias as it
only provides us real facts as it does
not provide the authors opinion,
because the purpose is to inform
rather than persuade or convince the
audience.
While statistics give an unbiased
perspective, in this case they do not
provide backup information, or
overall context. The statistics do not
seem to correlate.
