Question

there has been an increase in asylum seekers from syria to the european union in recent years. which of the following best describes the reason for this migration? a a large rural - to - urban population shift within syria b a continuing rise in employment for asylum seekers in the european union c a continuing issue of conflict and political unrest within syria d the tightening of asylum policies by the european union e the tightening of guest - worker policies by the european union

Explanation:

The main reason for Syrians seeking asylum in the European Union is the ongoing conflict and political unrest in Syria, which creates an unsafe environment. A rural - to - urban shift within Syria is an internal migration factor, not an external asylum - seeking one. Employment rise for asylum seekers in the EU is not the primary driver. Tightening of asylum or guest - worker policies would act as deterrents, not attractors.

Answer:

C. A continuing issue of conflict and political unrest within Syria
