Factors Influencing Migration Decisions

The video tutorial by Mr. Talbot explores the theme of movement in geography, focusing on migration. It explains migration as the movement of people from one place to another to live permanently. The video differentiates between tourists and immigrants, and between emigrants and immigrants, using examples. It discusses push factors, which are undesirable conditions that drive people to leave a place, and pull factors, which are attractive conditions that draw people to a new location. The tutorial concludes with a summary of these concepts.
