Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of migration factors in microeconomics, which explain why people move from one location to another.
Recognize that 'push factors' are the negative aspects or conditions of a location that drive people to leave, such as unemployment or poor living conditions.
Identify that 'pull factors' are the positive attributes of a destination that attract people, like better job opportunities or higher quality of life.
Note that 'incentives' generally refer to rewards or penalties that influence behavior, but in migration context, they are broader and not specific to reasons for leaving.
Understand that 'opportunity costs' represent the benefits foregone by choosing one option over another, but they do not directly describe reasons for moving away.
