question 9 of 10
which scenario describes a mass migration caused by economic factors?

a. ethnic communities relocate to a new nation - state led by members of their ethnicity.

b. skilled workers leave impoverished states for the chance to work in wealthier areas.

c. families with young children leave an area because of its high levels of environmental pollution.

d. members of one religious group leave a country to escape discriminatory policies.

Explanation:

To determine the scenario of mass migration due to economic factors, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Relocation based on ethnic leadership is ethnic - related, not economic.
• Option B: Skilled workers moving from impoverished (low - economic - opportunity) states to wealthier areas for work opportunities is clearly driven by economic factors (job and income prospects).
• Option C: Leaving due to environmental pollution is an environmental factor, not economic.
• Option D: Leaving to escape religious discrimination is a religious/social factor, not economic.

Answer:

B. Skilled workers leave impoverished states for the chance to work in wealthier areas.
