Which pairing of push and pull factors is correct, to immigration and emigration?

1 answer

The correct pairing is as follows:

- Push factors: These are the factors that compel or "push" individuals to leave their home country and migrate to another. Examples of push factors can include political instability, persecution, conflict, war, lack of economic opportunities, poverty, natural disasters, etc.

- Pull factors: These are the factors that attract or "pull" individuals to migrate and settle in a new country. Pull factors can include better economic opportunities, political stability, better healthcare and education systems, higher standards of living, safety and security, family reunification, etc.

Immigration is linked to pull factors attracting individuals to settle in a new country, while emigration is associated with push factors compelling individuals to leave their home country.
