Match the following types of migration in Group-I to their corresponding descriptions in Group-II.
Show Hint
Understanding different types of migration helps in urban planning, resource allocation, and social integration policies, especially in regions with high mobility.
Correct matches based on migration type definitions are as follows:
Involuntary migration (P): Defined as forced displacement due to conflict, disaster, or persecution. This corresponds to (3) Forced displacement from their origin to destination areas.
Step migration (Q): Characterized by a migrant's progression through a series of stages or stops en route to a final destination. This matches (1) When a migrant follows a path or series of stages towards a final destination.
Circular migration (R): Involves a migrant worker's repeated travel between their home and destination areas, typically for employment. This aligns with (2) Repetitive movement of a migrant worker between home and destination areas.
Chain migration (S): Occurs when individuals from a specific region follow others from the same region to a particular destination. This is described by (4) Immigrants from a particular area follow others from that area to a particular destination.
Conclusion: The definitive pairings are (P–3, Q–1, R–2, S–4), which corresponds to option (B).
