goods and information are not the only things that move between countries. people also move! the process of moving from one country to another is called migration. people decide to migrate for many different reasons. some of these reasons are push factors, or bad things that make people want to leave their country. other reasons are pull factors, or good things that attract people to new countries. read each of the stories about migration below. then decide whether each person moved because of a push or pull factor. i am raul from venezuela. i moved to colombia because there were food shortages in my country, and it was difficult to feed my family. my name is maria and i am from peru. many of my friends and family have found work in a community in santiago, chile. i moved to santiago to join them. my name is manuel and i am from colombia. my dream is to become an engineer. i moved to argentina because it has great engineering schools.

Explanation:

For Raul's case:

Push factors are negative aspects in one's home country that make them leave. Raul left Venezuela due to food shortages (a negative, push factor) making it hard to feed his family. So his migration is due to a push factor.

Pull factors are positive aspects in a new country that attract people. Maria moved to Chile because her friends/family found work there (a positive, pull factor) and she joined them. So her migration is due to a pull factor.

Pull factors are positive aspects in a new country that attract people. Manuel moved to Argentina because it has great engineering schools (a positive, pull factor) for his career goal. So his migration is due to a pull factor.
