Question

Which of the following is not a pull factor of human migration?

• A. Better living conditions
• B. Favourable climate
• C. Poor living conditions
• D. Peace and stability

Hint:

Push factors = things that PUSH you away. Pull factors = things that PULL you in. "Poor" conditions push you away.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Differentiate between push and pull factors of migration.

Push factors are negative conditions that encourage a person to leave their place of origin (e.g., poverty, war, natural disaster).
Pull factors are positive conditions that attract a person to a new destination (e.g., job opportunities, safety, better amenities).

Step 2: Classify the given options.

(A) Better living conditions - Pull factor.
(B) Favourable climate - Pull factor.
(D) Peace and stability - Pull factor.
(C) Poor living conditions - This is a reason to leave a place, making it a classic push factor.

Step 3: Identify the option that is not a pull factor. Poor living conditions is a push factor, not a pull factor.
