Long Answer TypeExplain any three ‘push’ and any two ‘pull’ factors that influence the migration of population in the world.
A. Push factors influencing migration:
a. Unemployment: Because of high population pressure on agricultural land and closing down of industries, people are rendered unemployed. In such cases, people migrate to other places to seek employment.
b. Natural disasters: Because of natural disasters such as flood, draught and earthquake, shelters are destroyed and agricultural production and other sources of income suffer. These factors force people to migrate to safer places.
c. Political unrest: Political turmoil or situations like civil war make the surroundings insecure. Therefore, people move to safe places. Example: People migrating from Syria to European countries
B. Pull factors:
a. Better employment opportunities: Industrialised and developed areas are able to provide better job opportunities and higher wages to people. These make these places more attractive and cause migration.
b. Better health and education facilities: Urban or developed areas have better healthcare, education and other facilities which attract people. For example, people migrate from less developed towns to Mumbai and Delhi in search of better educational and health facilities.
