Question:

Which one of the following is NOT a push factor of migration?

Options:

Good medical facilities

Water shortage

Unemployment

Epidemics

Correct Answer:

Good medical facilities

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Good medical facilities

"Good medical facilities" is NOT a push factor of migration.

Push factors are circumstances or conditions in a person's current location that encourage them to leave or migrate. Factors like water shortage, unemployment, and epidemics can be considered push factors because they create unfavorable living conditions and encourage people to seek better opportunities and quality of life elsewhere.

In contrast, "Good medical facilities" would be considered a pull factor, as it attracts people to a location that offers quality healthcare and medical services.

THEREFORE THE CORRECT OPTION IS [1].
