Push means the factors in which immigrants desire to leave their home country whether it be war, lack of jobs or other social, economic and political conditions. Pull means the factors in which immigrants which to join another country. Those countries could include universal health care as is the case in Canada or a stable democracy or a tolerant society.
All the same, these migrant-aware innovations consider what it means to attempt to change the conditions for precarious individuals and their families. Sometimes it comes in the form of technology and other times in terms of food offerings.
