e.g) What are the pull factors of New Zealand?

A pull factor is something that draws you to a place or country.  New Zealand, an island in the pacific ocean and the last country to be found in 1300, would be a perfect place to live with its beautiful landscapes, fresh air, clean beaches, good education,  and exotic wildlife and all of these things are the pull factors of New Zealand.

Why do the British want to leave England?

In Great Britain there are a lot of push factors, a push factor is the opposite of a pull factor. Britain one of the first countries to get into the Industrial Revolution was quite polluted at the time and from there things started to get worse for example the living conditions were quite poor which led to rats and diseases such as the great plague, smallpox, typhus, typhoid, dysentery, diphtheria, scarlet fever, tuberculosis and cholera, there were also children on the streets and/or working in factories or the mines(by pushing mine carts)
