Rural Exodus and Its Impacts

The video tutorial by Tiogo covers the topic of êxodo rural, explaining its meaning, causes, and impacts. Êxodo rural refers to the migration of rural inhabitants to urban areas, primarily due to mechanization in agriculture leading to job loss in rural areas. The video discusses historical trends, particularly in the 1970s and 1980s, and the ongoing effects today. It highlights the urban challenges such as unemployment, traffic congestion, and increased violence due to this migration. The session concludes with an assignment on the topic.
