Push Factors ( economically )
⚫Economic push factors tend to be the exact reversal of the pull factors:
⚫Overpopulation
⚫Few jobs
⚫Low wages
This lack of economic opportunity tends to push people to look for their futures outside the area of their origin.
An example of this is the migration of Mexicans and people from other Central American countries into the US, where they often work low-wage, long-hour jobs in farming, construction and domestic labour.
It’s difficult to classify this case purely with push factors though, because often the factors associated with the country of origin are just as important as the factors associated with the country of destination.
Forced migration has also been used for economic gain, such as the 20 million men, women and children who were forcibly carried as slaves to the Americas between the 16th and 18th centuries.
Push factors ( socially )
⚫Intolerance towards a certain cultural groupActive religious persecution
Examples being the Huguenots in 16th century France, the Puritans in 17th century England and the Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany.
Push factors ( physically )
⚫Natural disasters
Examples would be the east African drought of 2011 and the mass exodus from the island of Montserrat leading up to the eruption of the *La Soufriere Hills volcano in 1995, which led to two thirds of the population abandoning the island.
