What are pull factors of migration?

Pull factors of migration are the factors that attract individuals or groups of people to move to or settle in a particular location. These factors can be economic, social, political, environmental, or cultural in nature. Some common pull factors include better employment opportunities, higher wages, better standards of living, political stability, better healthcare, quality education, and improved social services. These factors are often compared to push factors, such as poverty, persecution, and conflict, as they can motivate individuals to leave their homes and seek out opportunities elsewhere. Understanding pull factors is critical in developing effective policies that encourage or discourage migration.
