Question

Which of the following is an example of a scenario wherein a person could be forced to migrate?

• A. When the person sees superior infrastructure elsewhere.
• B. When there is high unemployment and poverty in the person's place of residence.
• C. When the person is presented with the possibility of a better lifestyle elsewhere.
• D. When there are better job opportunities at the person's place of residence.

Answer 1

The correct option is B When there is high unemployment and poverty in the person's place of residence.

Migration occurs due to two factors: push and pull factors. Factors that drive a person to move from one place to another are known as push factors. Climate change in a certain region, unstable governments and conflicts like war, and the lack of job opportunities in the region are a few examples of push factors.
