An immigration push factor is a reason that motivates individuals to leave their home country. One common example of a push factor is economic hardship. If the economic conditions in a person’s home country are poor, causing high unemployment, low wages, or a lack of job opportunities, this can push individuals to seek better economic prospects in another country. Other push factors might include war, persecution, political instability, natural disasters, or lack of access to education and healthcare.
