=== Voluntary migration ===
{{See also|Free State Project}}
'''Voluntary migration''' is based on the initiative and the free will of the person and is influenced by a combination of factors: economic, political and social: either in the migrants' country of origin (determinant factors or "push factors") or in the country of destination (attraction factors or "pull factors"). "Push-pull factors" are the reasons that push or attract people to a particular place. "Push" factors are the negative aspects(for example wars) of the country of origin, often decisive in people's choice to emigrate. The "pull" factors are the positive aspects of a different country that encourages people to emigrate to seek a better life. For example, the government of [[Armenia]] periodically gives incentives to people who will migrate to live in villages close to the border with Azerbaijan. This is an implementation of a push strategy, and the reason people do not want to live near the border is security concerns given tensions and hostility because of Azerbaijan.<ref>{{Cite news |title=More Armenian Border Villages Eligible For Tax Breaks, Subsidies |url=https://www.azatutyun.am/a/31106046.html |access-date=2021-05-01 |website=«Ազատ Եվրոպա/Ազատություն» ռադիոկայան |date=16 February 2021 |language=hy|last1=Badalian |first1=Susan }}</ref>

Although the push-pull factors are opposed, both are sides of the same coin, being equally important. Although specific to forced migration, any other harmful factor can be considered a "push factor" or determinant/trigger factor, such examples being: poor quality of life, lack of jobs, excessive pollution, hunger, drought or natural disasters. Such conditions represent decisive reasons for voluntary migration, the population preferring to migrate in order to prevent financially unfavorable situations or even emotional and physical suffering.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Tataru |first=Georgiana |date=2020-01-14 |title=Migration – an Overview on Terminology, Causes and Effects |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/338590488 |journal=Logos Universality Mentality Education Novelty: Law |volume=7 |issue=2 |pages=10–29 |doi=10.18662/lumenlaw/24 |doi-access=free}}</ref>
