1. Question

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. <br><br> The Constitution of India (Article 19) gives the right to all citizens to "to move freely throughout the territory of India; to reside and settle in any part of the territory of India" which leads to two main types of migration: first, internal migration, i.e. migration within one country, and second international migration, which means the movement from one country to another. The reasons for migration can be divided into two main aspects, the so­called "push" and "pull" factors. Push factors are those in their old place which force people to move. Pull factors are factors in the target country which encourage people to move; these include peace and safety, a chance of a better job, better education, social security, a better standard of living in general as well as political and religious freedom. Since the 1830s, international migration from India under British rule comprised largely of unskilled workers from poorer socio­economic groups who went to other colonised countries. <br><br> Between 1834 and 1937, nearly 30 million people left India and nearly four­fifths returned. Post­ Independence, migrants came from richer socio­economic groups, from wealthier parts of the country and, with the exception of the large migration to the Middle East, went industrialised. The migrant stream to the United States in particular has been the most highly educated, both compared to other immigrants into the US, as well as to other Indian migrant streams abroad. Since the 1990s, increasing numbers of skilled emigrants from India have also been moving to Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Singapore. <br><br> Migration of persons within national borders is far greater in magnitude than migration across international borders and has <strong>enormous</strong> potential to contribute to economic prosperity, social cohesion and urban diversity. Internal migration is an essential and <strong>inevitable</strong> component of the economic and social life of the country, given regional imbalances and labour shortages, and safe migration should be promoted to maximise its benefits. However, in the absence of a <strong>coherent</strong> policy framework and strategy, migration imposes heavy costs on human development through poor labour arrangements and working conditions of migrants, and obstacles in their access to shelter, education, healthcare and food. <br><br> Migrants constitute a '<strong>floating</strong>' and invisible population, alternating between source and destination areas and remaining on the periphery of society. In India, internal migration has been accorded very low priority by the government, and policies of the Indian state have largely failed in providing any form of legal or social protection to this <strong>vulnerable</strong> group.

What's the main difference between push and pull factors of migration ?
