Migration refers to the process of movement of individuals or groups of people from one place to another, usually involving a change in their permanent residence. It can occur within a country (internal migration) or across international borders (international migration).
Push factors refer to the reasons or conditions that drive individuals or groups of people to leave their current place of residence and migrate elsewhere. These factors can be negative circumstances or conditions that make it difficult or undesirable for individuals to stay where they are. Examples of push factors include war, famine, natural disasters (such as floods or earthquakes), political instability, persecution, and lack of economic opportunities or employment.
Pull factors, on the other hand, are the reasons or conditions that attract or "pull" individuals or groups of people to a different place or country. These factors can be positive circumstances or conditions that make it appealing or beneficial for individuals to move to a new location. Examples of pull factors include better job opportunities, higher wages, access to better education or healthcare, political stability, religious or cultural freedom, and the presence of family or social networks in the new location.
