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 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.

Which of the following is NOT a pull factor for migration ?

Options:

Better job opportunities

Pleasant climate

Political turmoil

Security of life and property

Correct Answer:

Political turmoil
