_______________
Individuals migrate because they think that they can improve their own lives or those of their families by doing so. Factors such as poverty, lack of economic opportunity, land shortage and low living standards at home function as push factors, while prosperity, opportunity, available employment and higher living standards in the place of destination are pull factors. Migrants have to consider general factors such as the cost of travel and accommodation, the chances of finding work and the prevailing wage rates in the destination area compared with those in the home area. They will also be swayed by individual factors such as contacts with relatives or friends in the destination areas, or the potential effect of their absence on the household left behind. Knowledge of conditions elsewhere is important in migration decisions and theretore modern communications play a significant role. Potential migrants may leam of opportunities from the media, from television images or from returnees.
