- increased transport means people are able to move freely and migrate - EASYJET
- Core-periphery systems see backwash flows - people and goods travelling from periphery --> core regions (positive feedback) INDIAN WORKERS.
- TNC's open up FDI in attractive areas, promoting rural-urban migration for jobs in HQ's (CHINA)
- Trade blocs (EU) introduces free movement (Schengen Agreement).
- Large-scale migration within a country- (55% of Chinese now live in cities).
- Large scale migration between countries (USA has 45 million foreign-born)
- Environmentalfactors increasing migration
- Agriculture is threatened where climate change occurs- a refugee crisis will lead to desertification (Syria's hostile environment).
- Political factors

- Economic factors
- GFC of 2007-2008, decline in remittances and had the potential to reverse migration.
- High roles in urban areas lures people seeking powerful, well-payed jobs.
