Push and pull factors in migration, give two examples of each.

• A. Push factors include war and famine; Pull factors include jobs and safety.
• B. Push factors include jobs and safety; Pull factors include war and famine.
• C. Push factors include climate; Pull factors include education.
• D. Push factors include education; Pull factors include health care.

Answer: (A)

Push and pull factors explain why people leave one place and move to another. Push factors are conditions that drive people away from their current home, such as conflict and hunger. Pull factors are attractions that draw people toward a new place, like better job opportunities and a sense of safety. This option fits best because war and famine are classic push factors that push people to flee, while jobs and safety are strong pull factors that attract people to migrate. Other choices mix up the categories or point to less universally recognized pairings, so they don’t illustrate the usual distinction as clearly.
