Migration Factors: Push and Pull

The video lecture, hosted by Miss G, explores the reasons why people migrate, focusing on push and pull factors. Push factors are conditions that drive people away from a place, such as war, economic instability, or natural disasters. Pull factors, on the other hand, attract people to a new location, like better climate, job opportunities, or political stability. The lecture provides examples, such as people moving from Alaska to Arizona due to weather conditions. It emphasizes that migration decisions are complex and often involve a mix of both push and pull factors.
