Push & Pull Factors

In migration, push factors is when you forcefully push people away to a different place or country. And Pull factors is when you have to leave where you are currently staying to a new place or country. 

My grandpa's sister & husband was in a situation like this. They were pulled into New Zealand which is called pull factors. They were pulled to New Zealand so they can live a happier better life then living in Tonga. 

But then my grandpa's sister left New Zealand because her mother just recently died in probably her late 80's or something. So when she left she also left behind her husband called Fine. This is a true story about my family members so I can't tell you everything that happened but, later on a few weeks later Fine flew back to Tonga because of some important issues that happened and because he wasn't allowed to live with me after what happened to me.

So at the beginning of the story they were pulled to New Zealand for a better happier future but, then at the end of the story one person was pulled back to Tonga and the other person was pushed back to Tonga.

  1. Malo Jessica, it's great to hear a little bit about your family's history migrating from Tonga to New Zealand.
