Push and pull factors are reasons that influence people to move from one place to another. Push factors are things that make people want to leave their home, such as lack of jobs, safety issues, or natural disasters. Pull factors are the good things that attract people to a new place, like better job opportunities, a safer environment, or a chance for a better life.
