Abstract : Economic possibilities, political instability, climate change, and other geographical considerations all have an impact on the complex phenomena of human migration. This study uses factor analysis and ANOVA to investigate the main migration-causing factors and their respective effects on migration patterns. The study examines the literature on the variables that drive migration, identifies the major determinants, and provides tables that summarize the outcomes of the factor analysis and ANOVA. The findings underline the complexity of migration and the necessity for integrated strategies that take into account the range of variables influencing migration choices.
Keywords : Human Migration, Economic Opportunities, Climate Change, Political Instability, Factor Analysis, ANOVA
