| dc.description.abstract | This paper aims to identify the factors that influence the decision to migrate. Logistic regression is applied to the data gathered from the Family Income and Expenditure Survey and the Labor Force Survey carried out n 2000 and 2003. Results of the analysis are mostly consistent with the existing literature on both international and internal migration. Such factors as age and income have positive effect on the decision to migrate. Moreover, level of educational attainment provides a strong positive influence on the decision to migrate while household size tends to constrain migration. Occupation is also a significant factor suggesting that less-skilled workers have the propensity to migrate more than the professional workers. Migration among males should be dominant in 2000 while female migration seems to dominate in 2003. This study highlights certain key characteristics of migrants. Therefore, policies that aim to address migration should take such into consideration. | |
