    Pull effects have never been empirically shown. You’re repeating the right’s talking points.

      Have they been empirically disproven?

          Fair point, but that still gives me room to doubt the claim that pull factors have no impact on migration, I must appologize to my overly confidant commwnt earlier in the thread

            As I said: the theory of push- and pull-factors is outdated and not really taken seriously in academics anymore. Are you claiming that you know reasons for migration better than academia?

              To be frank, no, I don’t claim to understand migration factors better than experts.

              But if that theory is no longer seen as credible, I wonder how academia explains migration factors.

              For me it isn’t good enough to just say that the theories are wrong, I need to know what factors they believe causes migration instead.
