3 push factors for migration from india to qatar
In the Punjab in north-western India, a state of 31 million people, unemployment rates are consistently higher than the rest of India
For young men between 15 and 19, the unemployment rate exceeds 85% and for those between 20 and 24 it is around 44%.
Agriculture accounts for 40% of all employment in the Punjab, but has suffered from continuous drought and a drying climate, increasing difficulty in making a living off the land
4 pull factors for migration from india to qatar
There has been an Indian presence in Qatar since it was created in 1971, so many had family links and contacts back home- leading to people migrating to join them
Lower-paid workers found Qatar appealing due to offering a steady job with regular income to send home (often construction, security), something they couldn’t get in southern Asia
Salaries are five times what can be earned in India and all wages earned are tax free
Qatari government built facilities to cater to the high migrant population, including a giant shopping mall, a multiplex cinema and a 13,000-capacity cricket stadium.
4 push factors for migration from ukraine to poland
Russia’s war on Ukraine as they view the country as being part of their own, see them as valuable due to its resource rich territory, and don’t like their goal of building their bonds to the EU
Ukrainians fled Eastern Ukraine as the Russian army advanced and significant shelling bombarded Ukrainian cities
Continued conflict led to lack of healthcare services, crowded and poor shelter conditions, disruption to power and water supplies, and the possible threat of diseases forced seven million people to escape Ukraine by October 2022
Allegations of torture and war crimes for those captured by the Russian Army have further expediated a desire to leave Ukraine for those in conflict regions
