What are push factors of migration?

Push factors of migration refer to situations or conditions that force or compel people to leave their homes or their country of origin. These factors can include things like poverty, lack of job opportunities, war, conflict, persecution, natural disasters, and environmental degradation. In many cases, people who are pushed to migrate have little choice but to leave in order to protect themselves and their families. The push factors of migration are often interconnected and may create a domino effect that leads to further hardship and displacement. Understanding these factors is important in developing effective policies and interventions to address the root causes of migration.
