Question

List the major factors responsible for migration.

Answer 1

Push Factors
Push factors are those that force the individual to move voluntarily, and in many cases, they are forced because the individual risk something if they stay. Push factors may include conflict, drought, famine, or extreme religious activity.

Poor economic activity and lack of job opportunities are also strong push factors for migration. Other strong push factors include race and discriminating cultures, political intolerance and persecution of people who question the status quo.

Pull Factors
Pull factors are those factors in the destination country that attract the individual or group to leave their home. Those factors are known as place utility, which is the desirability of a place that attracts people. Better economic opportunities, more jobs, and the promise of a better life often pull people into new locations. 

Sometimes individuals have ideas and perceptions about places that are not necessarily correct, but are strong pull factors for that individual. As people grow older and retire, many look for places with warm weather, peaceful and comfortable locations to spend their retirement after a lifetime of hard work and savings. Such ideal places are pull factors too.

Very often, people consider and prefer opportunities closer to their location than similar opportunities farther away. In the same vein, people often like to move to places with better cultural, political, climatic and general terrain in closer locations than locations farther away. It is rare to find people move over very long distances to settle in places that they have little knowledge of.

Answer:

There are many factors that influence migration. Migration is the movement of a body from one place to another for a specific purpose or reason . Some major factors that inflience migration are mentioned below.....

Explanation:

1. Change in climate: In the case of animals, the most common reason of migration is none other than the change in the climatic conditions of the particular place they live in . If the place they live in has an extreme climate( mostly cold) they migrate from there as they most likely will not be able to survive in such temperatures.

2. Higher Employment Opportunities: This is a factor only in the case of humans, not animals. Humans usually migrate to a particular region or place due to the higher employment opportunities found there, they might have found a better job there too, which adds to why they want to migrate.

3. Higher Standards of living: This too is a factor only in the case of humans. A place might have more malls, Air Conditioning , and beautiful and better views than the place that they currently lived in, thus making them more attracted to migrate to a particular place or region .
