What causes migration?

Rural-to-urban migration is a usual LDC experience. Those are migrates within search of better SoL, those are generally younger, less risk adverse and better educated. There are two major motives for migrating as:

• Push factors are negative and comprise: famine, political persecution and loss of land. Relatively little migrations happen solely for push factors individually.

• Pull factors are positive and comprise perceived enhanced job and social opportunities earnings into cities. Those workers are economically migrants.
