Migration is a global phenomenon caused not only by economic factors, but also by social,
political, cultural, environmental, health, education and transportation factors. It commonly takes
place because of the push factor of less opportunities in the socio-economic situation and also
because of pull factors that exist in more developed areas. Monywa is a thriving capital city of
North-West command and is located on the India, Myanmar and China trade route. Monywa
Township also is the most-developed township in Sagaing Region. Therefore, many people
immigrate to Monywa Township. Most moved from the rural areas of Monywa Township. In this
study, push and pull factors of migration are studied and inferences are made based on sample
migrants. Two-stage stratified cluster sampling method is used to collect the required
information. Factor analysis is used to detect the important push and pull factors of migration.
Among 389 sample households, 44.5% of households were migrants, meaning they are not
native residents of Monywa Township. Concerned with push and pull factors of migration, 18
statements were asked to determine whether these were important or not important for each
subject. Based on this information, the important factors were detected using factor analysis. A
better living condition is the first and most significant factor with maximum percentage of
variance which motivates the people to migrate to Monywa Township. The second most-
important factor is better public service with second largest percentage of variance, which is also
a push factor because the reasons for migration are that the level of service in their previous
location was poor. Subjects also were dissatisfied with public transportation of their previous
location and a lack of safety in previous places. Third significant factor is better environment,
which includes moving because of dislike of cultural/recreational facilities and the behavior of a
neighbor.
