Question
"Migration may be interpreted as a spontaneous effort to achieve a better balance between population and resources." Examine the statement in context of pull and push factors that influence migration.
Solution
Migration may be interpreted as a spontaneous effort to achieve a better balance between population and resources. The two groups of factors that affect migration are as follows.
- The Push factors make the place of origin seem less attractive for reasons like unemployment, poor living conditions, political turmoil, unpleasant climate, natural disasters, epidemics and socio-economic backwardness.
- The Pull factors make the place of destination seem more attractive than the place of origin for reasons like better job opportunities and living conditions, peace and stability, security of life and property and pleasant climate.
