Push factors are conditions in the country of origin, or the migrant’s home
country that ‘push’ migrants to leave the country. For example – A person
might feel unsafe in their country and therefore choose to leave. People
might also leave because of a civil war or violent conflict, which makes
daily life damgerous.

Pull factors on the other ahnd, are what attract or ‘pull’ a migrant to
another country. Common pull factors can include economic or work
opportunities and the promise of a better quality of life. People can choose
to migrate due to the educational and cultutual opportunities promised in
