Answer to Question 2

Pull factors are things that attract migrants across national or internal boundaries.

Examples are things like a democratic government, religious freedom, employment

opportunities, and a more temperate climate, all of which make the destination seem

desirable. Within nations, people from large cities may be pulled to rural areas by lower

crime rates, more space, and a lower cost of living. Push factors are circumstances

in the country of origin that make it desirable to leave. At the international level, push

factors are things like political unrest, violence, war, famine, plagues, and natural

disasters. Push factors in regional U.S. migration include unemployment, harsh weather

conditions, a high cost of living, inadequate school systems, and high crime rates.
