Employment opportunities were limited in Tijuana. Manuel, who had been unemployed for several months, decided to join a group of people traveling north to find work.
What concept is described by the paragraph above?
population growth
urbanization
push-pull
sustainable development
The concept described in the paragraph above is "push-pull."
To arrive at this answer, let's break down the paragraph and explore the options:
- Population growth: The paragraph doesn't explicitly mention any growth in the population. It talks about people looking for work, but it doesn't indicate that there is an increase in the population.
- Urbanization: While the paragraph mentions Tijuana, it doesn't focus on the growth or development of an urban area. It is more about people seeking employment opportunities.
- Sustainable development: The paragraph doesn't mention anything related to sustainable development or the balance between economic growth and environmental conservation. It is more about people looking for work.
- Push-pull: The paragraph talks about Manuel joining a group of people traveling north to find work because employment opportunities were limited in Tijuana. This illustrates the concept of push-pull migration, where individuals are pushed away from their current location due to unfavorable conditions (limited employment opportunities) and pulled towards a new location where they believe they can find better opportunities (traveling north to find work).
Therefore, the correct concept described in the paragraph is "c) push-pull."
