Why We Move:
Push and Pull
Factors
Push Factors are negative things that make people want
to move to a new area e.g war.

Pull Factors are positive aspects that attract people to

move to a place e.g good employment opportunities.

Migration usually happens as a result of a combination of

these push and pull factors.
