Or….why people leave home Push/Pull Factors Or….why people leave home

What is a push factor (high pressure)? Elements which force people away from a particular region What are some examples? Natural resources Famine Setting not conducive to human life Poverty Isolation or poor communication with others Oppressive social/political situations

What is a pull factor (low pressure)? Elements which attract immigrants to a particular area What are some examples? Physical setting favorable to humans Temperate Reduced exposure to disease Availability of in-demand natural resources Forests Arable land Fishing Ores

Availability of employment Favorable social structure Friends and family Perception of more freedom Easy communication and transportation Harbors Rivers Mountain passes

Forced Migration When someone is forced to leave What is an example of this? Ex: Slavery Millions moved from west and central Africa to the Americas Forced migration based on persecution is the ejection of people from a territory due to ethnic, religious or other identities What is an example of this? Ex: Relocation of Native Americans in US Forced to move because of ethnic heritage

Application All regions possess pushes and pulls simultaneously The key to migration is to consider the total context of a region, both high and low pressure elements

Your Turn 1. What would cause you to consider moving? 2. Can we learn anything about a person’s values, hopes or needs from the types of low-pressure elements they pursue? Ex: A family was drawn to a farm in Manitoba (Canada) instead of to the gold fields of California. Can you make any guesses about their priorities? 3. Are people always able to make a full comparison of pushes and pulls before migrating? 4. What types of persecution or oppression exist in the world today? Does this appear to be causing population shifts?

Mapping activity Purpose: Visualize migration destinations. Note: This is not intended to be an absolute indication of a region’s desirability, but suggests areas which may represent low pressure or “pulling” regions.
