The important factors which motivate people to migrate can be classified into five  categories. They are economic factors, demographic factors, socio-cultural factors, political  factors and miscellaneous factors.

(i) Economic Factors

Most of the studies indicate that migration is primarily motivated by economic factors. In  developing countries, low agricultural income, agricultural unemployment and  underemployment are considered basic factors pushing the migrants towards developed area  with greater job opportunities. Thus, almost all studies concur that most of migrants have  moved in search of better economic opportunities. The basic economic factors which motivate  migration may be further classified as ‘Push Factors’ and ‘Pull Factors’.

• The push factors are factors that compel a person, due to different reasons, to leave that  place and go to some other place. The common push factors are low productivity,  unemployment and underdevelopment, poor economic conditions, lack of opportunities for  advancement, exhaustion of natural resources and natural calamities. Introduction of capital  intensive methods of production into agricultural sector, and mechanization of certain  processes reduce labour requirement in rural areas. The non-availability of alternative sources  of income in rural area is also important factor for migration.

• The Pull Factors are factors which attract the migrants to an area. Opportunities for better  employment, higher wages, facilities, better working conditions and attractive amenities are  pull factors of an area.

(ii) Demographic Factor

The differences in the population growth rates of the different regions of a nation have  been found to be a determinant in the internal migration. Fertility and the natural increase in  population are generally higher in rural areas which drift the population towards the city. Other important demographic factor in internal migration is marriage because females are  used to follow their spouses.

(iii) Socio-cultural Factors

Social and cultural factors also an important role in migration. Sometimes family  conflicts, the quest for independence, also cause migration especially, of those in the younger  generation. Improved communication facilities, such as, transportation, impact of television,  good network communication, the cinema, the urban oriented education and resultant change  in attitudes and values also promote migration.

(iv) Political Factors

Sometimes even political factors encourage or discourage migration from region to  another. After 1948, most of rural people migrated to urban because of safety in Myanmar.  Hence, the political background, attitudes and individual viewpoint of the people influenced  on the migration of people.
