If people leave a drought-affected village for jobs in a city, which factors are working?

Correct answer: A village push factor and a city pull factor

The direct answer is A. The situation contains two migration factors working together. Drought makes life and livelihood difficult in the village, so it pushes people away from the place of origin. The availability of jobs in the city gives people a reason to move towards the destination, so it acts as a pull factor. Option A correctly identifies both sides: the village provides the push and the city provides the pull. Option B is wrong because the question describes movement, not the addition of people through births. Option C is wrong because no death process is mentioned. Option D is wrong because natural increase means births minus deaths; it does not mean people moving from one place to another. The example may also change the population distribution of the village and city, but the factors causing the movement are push and pull. Memory cue: ask two questions—“What drives people out?” and “What attracts them in?”
