This topic mixes migration theory with Pakistan's experience of rapid urban growth. Questions ask you to identify pull factors such as better jobs and wages, and to distinguish them from push factors like poverty or conflict. You will meet the idea of the new migration, the developing tendencies in migration described by Castles and Miller, and the term ethnic cleansing. Other items look at the growth of Pakistan's urban population since 1951 and at historic examples such as the Great Migration to Chicago. Linking each term to an example makes recall easier.

Push factors are conditions that drive people away from their home area, such as unemployment, poverty, conflict or natural disasters. Pull factors attract them to a new place, such as better jobs, higher wages, education, safety or family links. Most migration involves both.
Ethnic cleansing is the deliberate, systematic removal of an ethnic group from an area by another group, using violence, forced expulsion or intimidation. Its aim is to make the territory ethnically uniform, and it is regarded as a serious violation of international law.
