Which of the following are push factors for urban to rural migration for human population
A. Air pollution
B. Good Agriculture in villages
C. High living cost
D. Political stability
E. Lack of jobs, and conflicts
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → A, C and E only
Push factors are the adverse conditions at the place of origin — here the city — that drive people away. Choking air pollution, a high cost of living and the absence of jobs together with conflict all make urban life untenable and push residents back to the villages.
Good agriculture in villages is a pull factor of the destination, not a push factor, and political stability is a favourable condition that would retain people rather than expel them.
