Most of people migrate because the country that they live did't give them what they want.

3. environmental degradation

4. unemployment or underemployment

5.religious or ethnic persecution 

  Pull forces 

1. better economic apportion

Total fertility Rate (TFR); average number of children born per woman.

for a population to remain the same, the TFR must be 2.1.

The TFR high than 2.1 means  the population rises like Nigeria is 5.38. Less than 2.1 is population fails like Japan is only 1.39.
