Which term describes factors that push people to leave a country, such as war or poverty?

• A. Pull Factors
• B. Biometrics and Immigration Safety
• C. Multiculturalism
• D. Push Factors

Answer: (D)

Push factors are the forces that push people to leave their home country. They are conditions that create pressure to migrate, such as war, poverty, persecution, or a lack of opportunity. Because these pressures drive someone away, the term describing them is push factors. In contrast, pull factors describe what draws people toward another country—things like safety, jobs, or education opportunities. The other options don’t fit because they relate to security procedures or to the idea of attraction, not departure.
