In which condition can in-migration become an opportunity for the destination area?

Correct answer: When migrants contribute through skills and employment

Direct answer: A, when migrants contribute through skills and employment. In-migration can create pressure, but it can also benefit the destination when newcomers participate productively in the economy. Migrants may bring education, practical skills, work experience, entrepreneurship, or a willingness to fill available jobs. Their work can increase production, provide services, support businesses, and add to the tax and economic base, provided suitable opportunities and basic facilities exist. Step by step: people arrive; their skills match employment needs; they earn and work; the destination receives useful labour and economic activity. A is correct because it states the condition that changes migration from only a demand on services into a possible opportunity. B is wrong because absent services make settlement difficult. C is wrong because housing shortage and lack of jobs describe pressure, not opportunity. D is wrong because persistent unemployment prevents the full benefit of migration. Memory cue: migration is both pressure and opportunity; the result depends on skills, jobs, and planning.
