Answer 2

Answer:

Internal migration or domestic migration is human migration within one geopolitical entity, usually a nation-state. Internal migration tends to be travel for education and for economic improvement or because of a natural disaster or civil disturbance.[1] Cross-border migration often occurs for political or economic reasons. A general trend of movement from rural to urban areas, in a process described as urbanization, has also produced a form of internal migration.

Causes of Internal Migration:

Urbanization: An increase in the demand for labour in urban areas and better wages increase migration. The pull factors of better job facilities, good salary, more income, medical and educational facilities are attracting the rural people to move to the cities. The push factors of no job facilities, low salary, less income, drought, less medical and education compel people towards cities.

Marriage: Marriage is an important social factor for migration, from one rural area to another rural or urban area, especially in case of females.

Employment: Search for better employment in industries, trade, transport and services results in R-U and U-U migration. 

Education: Due to lack of educational facilities in rural areas, people migrate to the urban areas for better academic opportunities. In the 2011 census, about 1.77% people migrated for education.
