Which one of the following economic factors attracts population to an area?
Industrial development
Economic factors that pull people into an area are those that improve livelihood, chiefly the availability of jobs and income.
Industrial development creates factories, services and employment opportunities, drawing migrants in search of work, so it is a positive pull factor.
A high cost of living, limited transport and a lack of job opportunities are push factors that discourage people from settling in an area, so they cannot attract population.
Hence, the economic factor that attracts population to an area is industrial development.
