विकल्प

• Only (i)

• (i) and (ii)

• ii and iii

• i, ii and iii

Answer 1

(i) and (ii)

Explanation:

People migrate to places other than their birthplace for a variety of reasons.

(i) Push factors are those factors that make the location of origin appear less appealing. Unemployment, poor living conditions, political turmoil, an unpleasant climate, natural disasters, epidemics, and social-economic backwardness are all factors.

(ii) Pull factors are those factors that make the place of destination appear more appealing than the place of origin. The destination location offers better job opportunities and living conditions, as well as peace and stability, security of life and property, and a pleasant climate.

(iii) The reasons for male and female migration differ. For example, work and employment have remained the main reasons for male migration (38%), while it is only 3% for females. In contrast, approximately 65 percent of females leave their parental homes after marriage. Except in Meghalaya, where the opposite is true, this is the most important cause in rural India. In comparison, male marriage migration accounts for only 2% of total migration in the country.
