Pull Factor Theory

Pull Factor Theory refers to the social, economic, political, and environmental attractions that draw people to a particular place, often in the context of migration. These "pull factors" can include better job opportunities, higher living standards, quality education, political stability, and favorable climate conditions. Essentially, they are the reasons people find a location appealing and choose to move there, seeking improved circumstances compared to their current environment. Understanding these factors helps in analyzing patterns of migration and the reasons behind population movements across regions or countries.
