  1. Migration due to marriage is not considered migration by the definition of the census. Half of the population (female) in our country migrate due to marriage but are not included officially.
  2. Most of the villages due to geographical constraints have limited economic activities. Limited economic activities also restrict employment opportunities. Population increase is insufficiently met by economic opportunities which lead to increase in mobility of the rural population.
  3. Village economy is mainly based on agriculture and people without agricultural land find hard to sustain as there are hardly any other economic activities. They are forced to migrate for better opportunities.
  4. Most of the migrant workers are ready to take up any job in new cities and are not concerned about their social position and status. However, what kind of jobs they take in their village is also determined by how they identify themselves in the village.
  5. Education and job is another reason for migration. young population migrates to cities for higher/technical degrees. After completion, they get a job in cities. The emergence of IT sector is one of the factors which has lead to migration among the working class.
