hello there geographers and welcome back to the Mr sin Channel today we're going to be reviewing the different causes of migration as always if you find Value in these topic review videos consider subscribing and check out my other review resources in the description of the video to start I want to ask a pretty simple question if you could live anywhere in the world where would you want to live when people decide to move whether it's to another city a region or even a country it's known as migration human migration is the permanent change of residents by an individual or group you can see that when individuals are trying to decide if they're going to migrate they take into account different push and pull factors pull factors are positive situations conditions events and factors that make people want to move to a geographic area push factors on the other hand are negative situations conditions events and factors that make people want to leave a geographic area every place has different economic political social and environmental push and pull factor economically we can see that societies that have a high unemployment high taxes is and less job opportunities will push people out of an area but areas that have lower taxes more job opportunities and a larger variety of different goods and services will pull people into the area we can see actually that economics is the number one reason why people migrate changing gears to political factors we can see that Geographic areas that have more political corruption lack individual freedoms Implement harsh government policies lack stability or discriminate citizens will push people out of the area but places that protect individual rights of citizens give citizens political freedom and keep Society stable will pull people into a place if we look at societal factors we can see that societies that discriminate against different ethnicities genders sexual orientation races or religions create push factors that motivate people to leave in area areas that also lack Health Care Services have poor Educational Systems or lack public services will also push people out of the area whereas places that offer religious freedom are accepting of all people offer quality education and health care services and have less income and gender inequality will see more pull factors as people will be drawn to that area then there are environmental factors places that lack arable land water have a higher chance of having a natural disaster or human disaster such as a chemical spill or pollution from factories often will push people out of the area but societies that are located in areas that have arable land clean drinking water and preferred climates will motivate people to move to those areas one thing to remember when it comes to push and pull factors especially environmental ones is that some factors will differ depending on who you talk to for example a person who likes to snowboard may consider a place where it's more cold and snows more often more appealing than a place where it's always sunny and warm but someone else for example a surfer will most likely consider the cold a push factor and would rather live near a beach with access to the ocean or a business that needs a large Workforce will most likely see a large urban area as a poll Factor but a business that requires lots of land and smaller Workforce will look for more of a dispersed population with cheaper land now going back to migration we can see if a person is leaving a place it's known as emigration and if a person is moving into a place it's known as immigration for example I currently live in the United States of America but if I decide to move to Australia I would be emigrating from the United States and immigrating to Australia to make sure you don't mix these terms up think of emigration as e for exit and immigration as I for in so we can see that people migrate for a variety of different reasons but just because people want to migrate to a different area it doesn't mean that they will reach their final destination sometimes migration of people gets interrupted and stopped due to intervening obstacles or intervening opportunities intervening obstacles are negative situations or events that hinder migration and end up preventing migrants from reaching their final destination for example if a migrant ran out of money to to complete their migration or are denied entry to an area due to immigration policy while intervening opportunities are positive situations or events that hinder migration and end up preventing migrants from reaching their final destination for example if you're on your way to your destination but you find a job offer in the area you are driving through and decide to take the job just remember that intervening obstacles are negative situations and intervening opportunities are positive situations both end up preventing the migrant from reaching their final destination now that we've reviewed the different push and pull factors think back to the question at the start of this video what push and pull factors exist for where you live now and what factors made you choose your answer let me know in the comment section below your answer and your reasoning and just like that another topic review video is down now comes the time to practice what we've learned answer the questions on the screen and check your answers in the comments section down below also if you found value in this video consider subscribing and checking out my ultimate review packet it's a great resource that'll help you get an in your class into five on that National exam as always geographers I'm Mr sin and I'll see you next time online
