Push and pull factors in migration according to Everett S. Lee (1917-2007) are categories that demographers use to analyze human migration from former areas to new host locations. Lee's model divides factors causing migrations into two groups of factors: push and pull. Push factors are things that are unfavourable about the home area that one lives in, and pull factors are things that attract one to another host area.[1][2]
Push factors:
- Not enough jobs or opportunities
- Famine or drought
- Political fear of persecution
- Poor medical care
- Loss of wealth
- Natural disasters
- Death threats
- Desire for more political or religious freedom
- Pollution
- Poor housing
- Bullying
- Discrimination
- Poor chances of marrying
- Contamination
- War
- Sickness
Pull factors:
- Job opportunities
- Higher Benefits
- Better living conditions
- Having more political or religious freedom
- Enjoyment
- Education
- Better medical care
- Attractive climates
- Security
- Family links
- Better chances of marrying
