The Correct Answer and Explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct answer is: (B) Overcrowding in countries in Stages 2 and 3 pushes migrants to Stage 4 and 5 countries in search of economic opportunity.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Zelinsky’s model of migration, also known as the Migration Transition Model<\/strong>, links migration patterns to a country’s stage in the Demographic Transition Model (DTM)<\/strong>. It suggests that migration patterns change alongside the demographic and economic development of a society. Below is a summary of the relationship between the DTM and migration based on Zelinsky’s model:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Stage 1 (Pre-Industrial Society)<\/strong>: Characterized by high birth and death rates, there is minimal migration due to a subsistence economy and limited population mobility. Any movement is largely local or seasonal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Stage 2 (Early Industrial Society)<\/strong>: As death rates drop due to improvements in health and sanitation, rapid population growth leads to overcrowding and limited economic opportunities<\/strong> in rural areas. This drives out-migration<\/strong> to urban areas within the country or to more developed countries in Stages 4 and 5<\/strong>, where economic opportunities and better living conditions are available.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Stage 3 (Late Industrial Society)<\/strong>: Birth rates begin to decline, and urbanization continues. International migration often persists, but rural-to-urban migration within the country becomes dominant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Stages 4 and 5 (Post-Industrial Society)<\/strong>: Countries experience low birth and death rates with stable or declining populations. These countries tend to attract migrants from Stage 2 and 3 countries<\/strong> due to economic opportunities, aging populations, and labor shortages.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Thus, in Stages 2 and 3<\/strong>, rapid population growth leads to overcrowding and unemployment, pushing migrants to Stages 4 and 5<\/strong>, where economic opportunities exist. The answer reflects this dynamic migration pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
