“…On the other hand, another branch of literature distinguishes between pull and push factors leading to immigration and emigration in a given country (Mohamed & Abdul-Talib, 2020;Unguren et al, 2021;Garelli & Tazzioli, 2021;Piras, 2021;Khalid & Urbański, 2021). The push factors leading to high emigration rates from a country are mainly corruption (Matallah, 2020;Arif, 2022), unemployment (Baumann et al, 2015;Cimpoeru, 2020;Espinosa & Díaz-Emparanza, 2021), unstable political environment (Mourão et al, 2018;Agadjanian & Gorina, 2019;Žižka & Pelloneova, 2019;Grumstrup et al, 2021;Kang, 2021), military instability (Habchak & Dubis, 2019;Veebel, 2020), climate changes (Barassi et al, 2018;Schutte et al, 2021;Reichman, 2022), low wages and income (Fischer & Pfaffermayr, 2018;Delogu et al, 2018), low or negative economic growth (Tolmacheva, 2020;Lupak et al, 2022;Gavurová et al 2017). The pull factors leading to high immigration rates to a country are high wages and income (Laajimi & Le Gallo, 2022), low level of poverty (Hager, 2021;Urbański, 2022), high standard of living (Hager, 2021), high economic growth (Schwabe, 2021), immigration and integration policy (Beverelli, 2022), welfare (Cebolla-Boado & Miyar-Busto, 2020;Ferwerda & Gest, 2021), immigrant networks (Kaplan et al 2016;Kabir, 2021).…”
