Let’s solve this step by step.
We are sorting reasons for migration into two groups:
-
Push Factors: Things that make people want to *leave* their home (bad things happening where they live).
-
Pull Factors: Things that make people want to *go to* a new place (good things waiting somewhere else).
---
Step 1: Look at each reason and ask:
> “Is this something bad pushing them away? Or something good pulling them toward a new place?”
---
List of Reasons:
1.
Poverty → Bad situation at home → Push
2.
More job opportunities → Good thing in new place → Pull
3.
Religious freedom → Good thing in new place → Pull
4.
Lack of jobs → Bad situation at home → Push
5.
Better medical care → Good thing in new place → Pull
6.
Natural disasters → Bad thing at home → Push
7.
Better schools → Good thing in new place → Pull
8.
Difficult to find food → Bad situation at home → Push
9.
Improved living conditions → Good thing in new place → Pull
10.
War → Bad situation at home → Push
11.
Poor education → Bad situation at home → Push
12.
Fertile land → Good thing in new place → Pull

Step 2: Sort them into columns
Push Factors (reasons to leave):
- Poverty

Final Answer:
