GeographyFundamentals of Human Geography: World Population-Distribution, Density and growth

Which one of the following is a pull factor of migration?

Read the given passage carefully and answer following question:-

Apart from birth and death, there is another way by which the population size changes.

When people move from one place to another, the place they move from is called the place of origin and the place they move to is called the place of destination. The place of the origin shows a decrease in population while the population increases in the place of destination. Migration may be interpreted as a spontaneous effort to achieve a better balance between population and resources.

Migration may be permanent, temporary or seasonal. It may take place from rural to rural areas, rural to urban areas, urban to urban areas and urban to rural areas.

People migrate for a better economic and social life. There are two sets of factors that influence migration. 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.

Which one of the following is a pull factor of migration?

Answer & explanation+

Correct answer: option 3

The correct answer is Option (3) → Better job opportunities

The passage states: “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”

A push factor is a problem at home that pushes people out. A pull factor is a benefit at the new place that draws people in.

Option (1) Unemployment — Incorrect. Having no work at home pushes people out, so it is a push factor.

Option (2) Unpleasant climate — Incorrect. A harsh climate makes the place of origin less attractive. It is a push factor.

Option (3) Better job opportunities — Correct. More and better jobs at the destination draw people there.

Option (4) Poor living conditions — Incorrect. Bad living conditions at home push people to leave. It is a push factor.
