Zorluk: OrtaPopulation Distribution, Density, and Migration in Africa

During seasonal labor migrations in West Africa, agricultural workers regularly move from the dry interior savanna regions (such as Burkina Faso) to the humid coastal forest belt (such as Côte d'Ivoire). Which of the following correctly identifies the primary push factor at the origin and pull factor at the destination?

  1. Push factor: prolonged dry season and limited rural income; Pull factor: high demand for seasonal labor on cash-crop plantationsCevap
  2. B
    Push factor: high demand for seasonal labor on cash-crop plantations; Pull factor: prolonged dry season and limited rural income
  3. C
    Push factor: abundance of fertile forest soils and minerals; Pull factor: high prevalence of tsetse flies and crop diseases
  4. D
    Push factor: nucleated rural settlement layouts along transport routes; Pull factor: dispersed farmstead patterns in river valleys

Cevap

Push factor: prolonged dry season and limited rural income; Pull factor: high demand for seasonal labor on cash-crop plantations
The correct answer accurately identifies that prolonged dry season hardship and lack of income in the interior savanna force workers out of their origin (push factor), while cocoa and coffee plantation labor demands draw them to coastal destinations (pull factor).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the unfavorable origin conditions in the interior savanna.
Identify that the long dry season (Harmattan period) prevents year-round farming and creates rural unemployment, acting as a push factor.
Push factors are negative conditions at the place of origin that compel people to move away.
2
Analyze the favorable destination conditions in the coastal forest belt.
Identify that expanding cocoa, coffee, and oil palm plantations require extra seasonal labor, acting as a pull factor.
Pull factors are attractive opportunities at the destination that draw migrants in.
3
Match the identified factors to the corresponding migration classifications.
Confirm that dry season income lack (push) and coastal farm employment demand (pull) correctly describe the regional migration flow.
Accurate demographic analysis requires distinguishing negative push conditions from positive pull incentives.
