This document summarizes a journal article that examines the determinants of internal migration in Tanzania. It finds that demographic characteristics like gender, age, marital status, education level, skills level, and household characteristics like family size and income are significant factors influencing migration based on human capital models and previous research. The determinants of migration differ based on destination within Tanzania. Policymakers need to consider destination preferences and migrant characteristics when addressing the impacts of migration.
India is a nation with the second highest population in the world. With dwindling job opportunities in the rural setup, the population seeks employment in metropolitan cities. Migration is on the rise. This presentation studies the trends and the various impacts of this phenomenon, supported with reliable statistics.

Abstract— Spotted stink bug, Perillus bioculatus female bug lays 25-30 rounded black eggs. Eggs hatch in 5-6 days. The 1st instar nymph lasts for 3.33 days (ranged 3-4 days), however the second instar nymphal period is completed in 3.67 days (ranged 3-4 days), while the 3rd instar takes 4 days (ranged 4 days). The 4th and final instars nymph lasts for 4.67 days (4-5 days), however adult period lasts 6.67 days (ranged 6-7 days). The P. bioculatus was found to complete its life cycle on an average in 22.33 days (ranged 20-24 days) in the laboratory. In a laboratory experiment on feeding potential of different stages of bug showed that a single bug consumed 22.0 grubs (ranged 20-22 grubs) during its life period. This bug is recorded as a limiting factor of Z. bicolorata.

Mobility Field Theory
The recent white paper by Manpower Borderless Workforce 2008 brings out the great churn that is happening in international labour markets. Workers are migrating permanently or on a short term basis, within a company or changing companies, sometimes changing occupations in search of a more fruitful work profile and lifestyles. Companies in turn are hiring internationally – sometimes for employment in a single location and sometimes moving their employees across national borders. The world may not have become flat yet, but it is rapidly becoming borderless.
India is a significant contributor to this phenomenon; it is exporting talent internationally in a big way and is considered to be a significant ‘threat’ internationally. India, of course, is not alone. But given its vast and rapidly increasing English speaking workforce India is emerging as a major supplier of international talent.
This is all happening at a far more massive scale than ever in the past. When aggregate national economic growth is on an average 8 percent per annum, but is characterized by large regional variation, it is evident that relatively greater opportunities will act as a magnet for all those willing and able. And what is happening across national borders is also occurring across sub-national borders. IT professionals of Tamil descent form a large part of the Bangalore story, labour from Bihar is benefiting agriculture in Punjab, large numbers are moving from rural to urban areas in search of a better livelihood and lifestyles.
The debate on international and domestic migration has attained significant importance on the national as well as international platform. Growing mobility of labour in a global economy, consequent population and demographic impacts , coupled with enhanced security concerns, have together underlined the importance of good migration management policies to transform it into an efficient, orderly and humane process. The question is no longer restricted to whether migration should or should not be allowed, but has shifted to , how to manage migration effectively to enhance its positive effects on development and mitigate the negative (MOIA, Annual Report, 2007-08).
Migration has enormous potential to contribute to development and alleviate poverty for a country like India, but the process needs to be understood better if we are to put in place policies that maximize gains from migration. What will be the consequences of large scale international migration from India? What will be the developmental consequences of migration of highly skilled workers from India? Being one of the main exporters of technical talent to the world economy, these concerns are important.
To address these issues it is important to have a better understanding of talent migration in India; both internal as well as international. This background paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the process of migration in India. This analysis is undertaken under three broad themes with Section 2 covering issues such as: What is the scale and scope of talent migration both (i) within India and (ii) between India and the world? Section 3, primarily covering the supply side issues, will describe the demographic dividend of India and provides a perspective to the same by discussing the employability constraints of the working population of India. In this context the following questions become important: (a) how to convert this demographic dividend into an employable dividend; (b) Whether and how short term training by hirers (with an international/domestic orientation) can improve the employment potential of the Indian workforce?; (c) Whether and how domestic skills shortages result in leading Indian companies seeking talent overseas? Finally, Section 4 of the paper briefly discusses the gains and costs of migration and follows that with a discussion of related policy issues. The background paper concludes by providing

Intra State Migration, Migrants and their Socio Economic Condition A Case Stu...ijtsrd
Migration is the process of involvement of people to move from the area of deficit in the case of opportunities, to the area of surplus in order to achieve the livelihood. The present study is carried out in Qila Ka Nagla, Aligarh, India, where the problem of migration is usually related to the poverty and unemployment. Because, the country like India is underdeveloped whose economy is primarily based on agriculture to support the 58.5 percent people and share the 17.14 percent in the India’s GDP and 68.31 percent people of the country are still rural resident. Thus, migration is the only way for them to survival. Therefore, the intra state migration study has carried out with the help of primary survey conducted through questionnaire to focused on the socio economic condition of migrants including pattern of migration, educational status, health condition, economic status and family size of the migrants etc. The inferences draw on the basis of data collected through the primary survey to show that, the economic well being of the migrants is very versed and the number of migrants has significantly increased with the passage of time caused by the unemployment and poverty, emerged by the unequal distribution of land among the migrants, illiteracy and lack of amenities and facilities.

Migration as an agent of Social Change in the Rural Areas: A case of Banke Di...IJRTEMJOURNAL
Recent research on the impact of labor migration on the socioeconomic development of developing
countries has provided opportunity to try and resolve some of the long-standing polemics that have pervaded the
literature on migration and development. This article focuses on findings concerning the labor, remittance, and
social impacts of emigration on countries that have participated in labor emigration. While a great deal more
research needs to be done, recent findings confirm that in some situations the sort-term impacts of labor migration
on sending countries have been considerable. In the study area (Titiheriya, Samserganja and Rajhena VDCs of
Banke district, Western Nepal total 6272 young adults left “home” to work as migrants in the Gulf and Middle
Eastern countries or in India. Random sample method has been used and selected 240 households (migrants) for
the data collection. Better jobs with handsome earnings motivates them to migrate to Arabian and Indian cities
to secure livelihoods. But at the same time migrants are not free of risks. The findings of this study have shown
largely a positive outlook of migration in terms of livelihood security. This reflects the wider themes with respect
to socio-economic determinants of access and opportunity. Regardless of whether migration is as accumulative
process or coping strongly, most migrants receive little support and live in very difficult conditions at their
destinations. Thus, a rights-based approach to guarantee the overall security of migrants is needed.
Urbanization and the Politics of Identity in Buea A Sociological Perspectiveijtsrd
Urbanization plays a distinct and important role in producing political relationships. Identity politics which is strongly linked to sense of belonging is an important dimension of political relationships in urban areas. This study examines the relationship between urbanization and the politics of identity in Buea. The research is a descriptive documentary research with data collected from secondary sources former studies and reports, newspapers, archival records and internet publications with few interviews. Data collection procedures included reading and note taking. Data was analyzed using thematic content analysis whereby concepts and ideas were grouped together under umbrella key words to appreciate the trends in them. The Instrumentalist Theory of Ethnicity was the framework that guided the study. The themes were geared towards outlining how ethnicity has been a tool of political control. Data was gathered from the different epochs that have marked urbanization in Buea, from the Native Authority to the present Buea Rural Council, demonstrating how this has influenced relationships between natives and non natives. Results show that, starting as a colonial town, and most especially with her changing status as the capital successively of German Cameroon, British Southern Cameroons, and West Cameroon, coupled with the fact that she has had to harbour several institutions, Buea has experienced rapid urbanization. It also reveals that, just as colonialism is responsible for rapid urbanization in Buea, it has constructed differences between “us” and the “other” aimed at protecting indigenous minorities. In essence, the thesis demonstrates how the transition of Buea from a rural to an urban settlement has led to several types of relations across identity division, especially between insiders and outsiders as well as among native segments as each strives to dominate the political milieu. Although the non natives are in a demographic majority, they occupy a minority position within the Council. Most especially, the recruitment policy of the Councilfavours natives, to the detriment of non natives. Land restitution and re alienation has ushered in a paradigm shift from tensions between natives and non natives to an era of peaceful co existence.

Sky Booming Urban Slums in Metro Cities of India (Special Reference to Charac...iosrjce
In India, one of every three urban people lives in slums. Land value are extradianaryly high and living
conditions accordingly are worse in the million plus cities Slums have grown simultaneously with the growth of
towns and cities partially in large industrial cities prohibeteration of slums has been taking place whenever the
urban resources are stretched by intense population pressure. Industries in all major towns and cities have
attracted a sizable number of people from rural areas who were reeling under the pressure of poverty there by
leading to proliferation of slums at a faster rate. Such people who came to the cities in search of livelihood
settled themselves in vacant places, due to lack of any basic civic amenities and these areas have soon grown
into slums where people live under unhygienic and insanitary conditions in India slums population has been
growing at an alarming rate. Visakhapatnam the slums have been more or less a result of the rapid
industrialization it experienced over the last four decades heavy influx of laborers from rural to the port city has
meant a growth in slum population at a rate higher than 6% perannum.During October,1985 and aprial,1986
the urban community development project of municipal corporation of Visakhapatnam has conducted as survey
of slums in the city on the state of physical amenities in the slums and socio-economic conditions of slumdwellers.
Most of the Visakhapatnam slum dwellers live under sub-standard environmental conditions. In this
paper we presented growth of slums and their characteristics.

Abstract
The internal migration resulted from the socio-economic differences in developing countries is a critical agenda
among the stakeholders and the policy makers. This paper examines the determinants of interregional migration
in Tanzania. The demographic characteristics such as gender, age, marital status, level of education, skills level
and household characteristics of household family size and household income are significant and consistent with
the model of human capital and previous empirical literatures, which are considered to be the determinants of
migration in Tanzania. The findings indicate that the selection of a movement differs significantly by migrant
destinations. In addition to that, stakeholders and policy makers with responsibility for addressing the influence
of migration are required to consider the destination of choice and migrant characteristics.
Keywords: Migration, determinants, rural –urban
1. Introduction
In recent years migration has spurred the interest of researchers within and across the borders of the African
continent. Over time and in different places in Africa, rural to urban migration has dominated both policy
concerns and economic analysis. Rural to urban migration has cut across class and skills boundaries and exists
widely in different geographic and demographic contexts. Migration in developing countries has been increasing
and will continue to expand despite the slowing down of migration rate in some countries in recent years. A
distinctive pattern of internal migration in many countries is in the development and booming coastal cities
where the export-oriented economy is concentrated that act as magnets to attract the migrants from the more
traditional agricultural zones, where subsistence agriculture prevails. Rural to urban migration in Africa has
claimed half of all urban migrations during the 1960s and 1970s while the urban growth was around 25 percent
in the 1980s and 1990s (Brockerhoff, 1995). A conceptual framework of understanding the nature and
determinants of migration is important because it is centered around the individual and household characteristics
which provide the clearest advanced understanding of why some people move and others do not move
contributing to the growth of micro-level migration (De Haans, 2011b). Migrants also at individual and
household levels can shape the migrant success at the destinations and affect their family at home; such as
distribution of migration potential benefits through remittances. The whole process of migration at the individual
level is accompanied with loss of human capital (Lall et al., 2006).
Similar to other countries in the region, there is a long history of rural to rural and rural to urban migration in
Tanzania, dating to the colonial and indeed pre-colonial times. The nation has witnessed significant labor
recruitments historically from the neighboring countries to provide a workforce for plantation agriculture.
Socialism development slowed down the rural to rural distance migration due to policy focus on community
level farming. However, seasonal labor migration occurred in rustic areas as extra labor required during the
harvesting, counterexample is to where there were communal sisal farms near the cost. Migration in Tanzania
continues to increase during the government decentralization and creation of new regional capitals in 1970s.The
economic liberation in 1980s accelerated the rural to urban migration, which becomes permanent with migrants
investing profits in venture in or near the town rather than remitting to their areas of origin. The political
instability in the great lakes countries has increased the internal migration due to the conflict arising between the
indigenous and refugees fighting on land ownership and water for agriculture and livestock respectively.
In northern Tanzania around Mount Kilimanjaro the migration of young people both male and female are
notably in many households as a way of increasing the opportunities specifically marginalized women (Lesire,
2001). In the southern portion of the country in the remote area of Lindi region, over 60 percent of the families
interviewed were found to hold at least one migrant family member (Lesire, 2001). Furthermore, one study from
early 1990s showed that 90 percent of urban migrant had bought land near the town to farm rather than investing
in their home village, which has limited the money transfer options (Mbonile, 2002). The issue concerning the
migration is prominent in Tanzania because the state has a long history of population mobility and is at the
forefront of the urbanization trend with continuing increases observed in both scale rural-urban migration.

Although, their wide range of studies examining migration in Tanzania, some important gaps remain in the
literatures. Therefore, this paper aims to examine and to understand the determinants of internal migration
occurring in Tanzania regions.
2 Literature Review
Migration of human refers to the movement of people from one place in the World to another for the purpose of
taking up permanent or semi - permanent residence. People can either choose to be active (voluntary migration)
or be forced to move (involuntary migration). There are various types of migration include; internal migration,
external migration, emigration, immigration, return migration, chain migration and seasonal migration.
Migration determinants can simply be defined as factors or forces existing at macro, meso and micro level,
which influence the decision to migrate. The study of the nature and determinants of migration has long history
in the economics literatures which explain the impression created in the minds of migrants to move with the aim
to reach higher income stream.
The neoclassic theory of rural-urban migration to human capital theory hypothesized by Sjaastad (1962)
formalized the idea by assuming that whether an individual elects to move is influenced by the present value of
the different income structure between the alternative locations minus any initial, financial or subsequent cost of
travelling. His theory enables to explain the selectivity of migration instead of not focusing only on costs. He
considered that individuals are different in terms of people skills, knowledge, education, sex, age and so on and
there will be differences in the extent to which people are expected to gain from migrating. Todaro (1969) offers
a simple but powerful model to examine the rural-urban migration in developing countries despite growing
unemployment in urban centers. The essential idea was to relate the employment opportunities and migration
which eventually revealed that urban jobs were more attractive than employment in rural; entry to the better
town activities is somehow constrained; and search for urban jobs can be more effectively conducted in close
geographical proximity. He stated that it was necessary to modify and extend the simple wage differential
approach by looking not only the prevailing income differentials as such rather at the rural-urban expected
income differential.
Apart from the theoretical literatures, there has been extensive empirical studies on the topic of human migration
in the developing countries include Brigg (1973); Yap (1975 and 1977); Skeldon (1986) and Byerlee (1974). In
Latin America, the largest number of migrants to the cities has left the countryside permanently. They continue
to move in different cities, and may return to their home place only to see friends and relatives; few of them can
turn back to a rural area to settle. The situation is unlike in Africa and part of Asia where the rural- urban
migration is seen as a temporary (Nelson, 1976). In Brazil, the migration from rural to urban was estimated to be
20 million people in 1950s to 1970s; this migration has been contributed by urbanization and decentralization of
the cities. In India, it is estimated that 20.5 million people which are about 30% of the national growth moved
from rural to urban areas in the 1990s (Census of India, 2005). The concerns of migration from rural to urban
have a long history in Italy. During the 1950s to 1960s rural to urban migration was from south to north part of
the country. However, the internal migration slowed down in 1970s but the flow started again in 1990s with the
same trends of migration from south to North (Oreste et al, 2009).
Todaro (1984) states that the high rates of the natural population increase among the urban dwellers are
attributed in part to the age structure of the urban population, and to some extent, this profile has increased the
flow of young in urban cities. In view of the Todaro notes, the contribution of rural-urban migration to urban
population growth is understated by simply counting the number of arriving. The high population growth rate in
Ghana is stated to be encouraging migration due to increase of domestic supply of the labor which puts pressure
on the available land for cultivation (Abdulai, 1999). Lee (1980) conducted the study using the census data in
South Korea to examine the migration from rural to urban without involving any demographic or household
characteristics. He finds that 9.1 percent of immigrants during the census of 1965-1970 periods return to their
province of the birth. Although this number is negligible but provides the clearest picture that the migration in
South Korea rural to urban is temporary. Furthermore, the inter-district migration was found to be 5.2 percent of
migrants returning to their birthplaces and the movement decreased to 4.1 percent of those returning to the
community.
The relation between the level of education and incentives influence the residents to migrate was studied by
Barnum and Sabot, 1975) and Connell et al (1976) in case of migrants in India. It is also strategies of some
families to send the young adults to the city and investing in a potentially remitting child (Lucas and Stark, 1988).
Human capital theory predicts that educated people have a great notion to migrate compared to those without
education. However, the scenario is true when the education makes workers relatively more productive at a place
of destination than at home or when the cost of migrating is lower for more educated workers. Rural to urban
migration normally occur at the individual and household levels in which the concern of selecting whether to
stay or to move out is accompanied with many reasons. For example, migration is higher among younger adults

who are likely to receive a positive ambitious return on migration due to their long remaining life expectancy
and or because the social norms require that young adults migrate in search of a better life (Mbonile et al 1996).
In the study of the Volta basin, Tsegai (2007) found that income differentials were important determinants of
migration.
In Tanzania, studies to examine the determinants of the internal migration have not been conducted thus far.
Most of the studies in the country focus on the impact of migration for example Mbonile et al (1996) conducted
studies of rural-urban female migration in Tanzania for the case of the Dar es Salaam city. The study stated that
the migration of females from rural to urban is dominated by economic motives because the profitable activities
are uneven distributed in regions of Tanzania. Liviga and Mekacha (1998) conducted the study of the youth
migration and poverty alleviation for petty traders in the Dar es Salaam city. They argued that the decision to
migrate is not voluntary, but it is influenced by problems experienced at home. Furthermore, the study indicates
that rural-urban youth migration has a negative impact in both out-migration and the in-migration areas. Mbonile
(1996) conducted the study in Makete district with the aim to examine the struggle of the people of the Makete
district to break away from the vicious circle of labour migration. He found that people from the market have
opted out to engage in subsistence agriculture and circular wage labor migration to business.
So far, there is no discipline in the country which examines the causal factors of inter-regional migration in
Tanzania. It is very important to examine and to evaluate the determinants influencing the migration from rural
to urban and town to the city because in order to address the factors contributing to migration, these determinants
are used as a baseline to pass the solution. This work creates awareness to stakeholders and policy makers break
away the gap of investment existing in rural and urban, which has led to inter-regional migration in Tanzania.
3. Methodology and Data
The models to examine the determinants of migration are dominated by two approaches namely macro analysis
and micro analysis. The macro analysis approaches are classified into three main components, including the
models relating the migration with the distances, the migration models with income differences and models of
migration with employment opportunities while the micro analysis approach relates the migration with human
capital.
The interaction between the migration and distance goes back to the Ravensteins law of migration (Revensteins,
1885). The theoretical development of interaction between the migration and distances indicates that there is an
inverse relationship between the migration and distance. Speare et al (1975) examine the influence of population
size and ratio of urban population between original and destination in order to evaluate the relationship existing
between the migration and distance using the gravity model which is under the macro analysis. A similar
approach was examined by Burchard (1962) which states that psychological distance of the migration has great
influence on migration compared to physical distances.
Todaro (1969) used micro analysis approach to determine the relationship existing between the income and
migration. He tried to merge the real income and the possibility of contracting a job to the destination as the
major source of migration. Different responses between the subgroups of migrants to the income gaps are
examined in this model (Schewartz, 1976). This model treats wage differences between the regions in terms of
average, which is not realistic because different regions have distinctive culture, economic activities and social
interaction. The model of income differences and employment opportunities are considered as the opposing
models, however, the two factors of income and opportunity are in their nature without contradiction.
The model relating the employment opportunities and migration was studied extensively by involving the
unemployment rate, the ratio of change of employment and the rate of change of the industrial products (Blanco,
1964). The results obtained after applying this model indicated that there is a close relationship between the
migration and employment opportunities. Parnes (1954) used a similar model to examine the relationship
between migration and opportunities of engagement among the subgroups which include the job seekers,
unemployed, employed and education and the level of income (Lansing and Mueller, 1967). The macro analysis
models usually focus to examine the determinants of the migration by looking the difference of migration
behavior among the subgroup or averaging the migrants. Nevertheless, it is impossible to analyze the difference
within each subgroup (DaVanzo, 1980).
The relationship of the human capital and the decision reached by residents to migrate has thoroughly been
studied by Sjaastad (1962). He formalized the model to analyze the potential of migrants by comparing the
anticipated benefits and the cost of money to each potential destination and selected one destination where the
benefits are expected to be maximized. This model also used to examine the benefits of migration occurring over
a period of time. The maximum utility of the choice is another model developed to relate the human capital and
migration. This model is effective for capturing the personal information about migration activity and to deal
with migration in a multidisciplinary approach (De Jong and Gardner 1980).
Considering the advantage of the micro analysis approach to macro analysis approach, this study opted to use the

micro analysis approach which examines the determinants of migration in particular regions or country by
relating the human capital and migration. The model of random utility of choice examines the causal factors of
migration by comparing the probabilities of staying at original or moving out of the original. The probability of
maximum utility relating the migration and human capital can be obtained by using the multinomial logit model
or profit model.
The multinomial logit model (MNL) is employed in this study because there is no clear cut of ordering the
results. The multinomial regression model is derived from the maximum utility of an individual in which the
decision maker is assumed to choose the alternative that yields maximum utility. The function relies on the
characteristics of the individual. Bilsborrow et al (1987) stated that during the investigation of the factors
influencing the migrations it is necessary to utilize the model which incorporates all the factors at the individual
level (Demographic and household characteristics). Wouter (2010) used the model to evaluate the determinants
of the internal migration and rural service provision in North Ghana. Greene (1997) evaluated the marginal
effects of the relative risk ratio of the variables influencing the internal migration and human capital investments
using a similar model. The study conducted by Stark and Taylor (1991) in Mexico which involves 423 adults,
employed the model to analyze the relationship between the migration and the family income. The study led by
Lucas (1985) also employed a similar model to estimate the migration among the residents of Botswana. The
simple binary approach which is similar to that used by Mendola (2005) is employed in this study. The
multinomial logit regression model used to analyze the data relating household and demographic characteristics
and migration are shown as follows:

where Male is a dummy variable which is equal to one if the resident is a male, Age is in years which is the year
of migrants in complete years; HH_Head is a dummy variable equal to one if the migrant is the head of the
household excluding the spouse, father, son and others. Married is the dummy variable which is equal to one if
the migrant is married omitted the single, widow/separated. Educa is the level of education of migrant including
the primary, secondary education and above.
Educa_skills describes the migrants with the level of education with skills and without skills. Family size
presents the number of family members in the household, and HH_Income provides the information about the
income of the household (i. e. Categories of low, middle and high income). However, to aid the multicollinearity
problem the high income is excluded.
The data used in this study come from the Integrated Labour Force Survey (ILFS, 2006) conducted by the
National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) to assess the labour force in Tanzania.
The major problem arising in identifying the determinants of the migration is the selection of input variables to
the model because there is no data for previous years. There are no standard variables for specifying the factors
influencing the migration; therefore, identification of migration determinants depends on the availability of data.
However, there are future prospects for gathering migration data in Tanzania because the International Labor
Organization (ILO) has signed the agreement with the member countries to include the question involving the
migration when conducting the survey to assess the labor force in their countries. Siegel et al (1976) used the
social-demographic factors such as age, education and marital status to analyze the influence of these elements
of migration. The survey indicated that 87 percent of females aged 15-29 have a tendency to migrate from rural
to urban and urban centers. Root and Jong (1991) on the other hand, conducted the study to investigate the
influence of family characteristics of migration in developing countries in the case of the Philippines. Different
variables also have been induced in the models by several authors in recent studies such as land use management,
infrastructure assets, environmental issues and geographical disparity as the input variable; Zhao (1999); Lall et
al., 2006); Wouter (2010).
In this study, the determinant of internal migration is examined using the multinomial logit regression model. In
particular, the probability of residents’ decision to detain or to migrate from rural to urban and from town to city
has been studied. The input variables to the model include sex, age, head of household, household income,
household family size, marital status, level of education and skill level. Thus, this model seeks to examine the
determinants of the internal migration in regions of Tanzania by comparing the probabilities of the residents to

stay or to move out from the original.
4. Results
In Tanzania, the migration of the residents from rural (village) to urban area is higher compared to those from
town to city. The results show that 66.9% of the residents in 2006 migrated from rural to urban while 30.7%
moved from town to city and remaining, which is about (2.4%) migrate to other countries (such as Kenya,
Uganda, American and Europe). The migration within the countries is high among the low income earners
(69.7%) followed by middle income earners (27.7%). This implies that the disruption of economic characteristics
has a tendency to influence the residents to migrate from either rural to urban or town to the city seeking the
good life and other opportunities available in urban areas.
Migration within the regions of Tanzania from both rural to urban and town to the city is dominated by young
adults aging between 25-34 and adults aging 35-64, which are 29% and 61.2% respectively. The number of
young people aged 15-24; typically move with their parents while older parents are coming to the city to join the
youngsters who have previously migrated. Furthermore, the migration occurs in the region of Tanzania is
dominated by young adults without skills (98.5%) compared to those with skills (1.6%). This course is highly
contributing by young adults who have completed primary school education and few with secondary education.
In Tanzania, this move is significant because only subsistence agriculture, fishing and small scale mining invest
in rural areas while the remaining economic activities such as industries are located in urban areas and cities,
which are believed to be the magnets to attract migrants to cities and urban seeking for better life or to join the
class. In view of this, the migration in the region of Tanzania is very high among the males (81.0%) compared to
females (19.0%). This implies that the differential’s availability of employment opportunities with sex, culturally
determined gender roles and social limitations associated with marriage and motherhood during the life cycle
imposes constraints that fence the ages at which women are responsive to available opportunity.

In this study, the Multinomial logit model is used to examine the statistical data to examine the determinants of
the migration occurring in the regions of Tanzania. This study uses secondary data collected by the National
Bureau of Statistics (NBS) in Tanzania for examining the integrated labour force survey in 2006 (ILFS, 2006). In
order to examine the determinants of migration within and across the regions of Tanzania, the comparison of the
probability of either staying in rural (village) or in the town and the probability of out- migration has been
studied. Generally, the results show that internal migration in the regions of Tanzania is statistically significant
in both cases from rural to urban and from town to city.
The trends of the coefficient of household income, age, marital status (married), sex (male) level of education,

household size and level of skills are statistically significant whereas the head of the household has no effect on
general migration in both cases. This outcome is possible when one assumes that the head of the household has
the highest level of training, experience and other human capital properties that would yield the highest returns
to migrating, exceeding the cost of moving to the urban settings. The internal migration determinants of other
variables show the trend of increase or decrease in the probabilities that are alternative to outcome except for the
head of the household.
In studying the determinants of internal migration it is important to note that relative risk ratio which explains
clearly whether the variables to be studied as a determinant of migration are significant or not. For the household
family size and age with relative risk ratio 0.915 and 0.590 respectively imply that the unit increase of the two
variables will be decreasing the flows of residents from rural to urban. In a like manner, findings indicate that the
flows of residents from town to city will be decreased when considering the relative risk ratio of household size
and age with values 0.855 and 0.616 respectively. Even though the household size and age are not significant
determinants when considering internal migration in Tanzania but usually the household with large number of
family members is an obstacle in migration decision and migration is not favorable to old people. The migration
in Tanzania occurs in all ages and regardless of the class size because internal migration incurs low costs.
Nevertheless, this work has involved the young adults with age suitable for them to take part in economic
activities of which most of them have attained primary and secondary education. Apart from household size and
age, other variables with the relative risk ratio shown in table 2 have values greater than one, which implies that
are significant variables to be considered in the internal migration in Tanzania because any increase of the unit
will also increase the internal flows of the residents to selected destination.
The sign of a coefficient of each variable participated in this study can be used to identify the determinants
influencing the internal migration in Tanzania. The determinants in this case are predicted by comparing the sign
of the coefficient of one variable to another. The coefficient of the variable sex, marital status, household income,
skills level and level of education are positive implying that any increase of unity will increase the probability of
residents to migrate to the selected destination. For household size and age, their coefficients are negative
(implying that the decision to migrate may be reduced by family size and age). These results are significant and
consistent with theoretical and previous empirical predictions. Thus, the variable sex, marital status, household
income, skills level and level of education may be considered to be the determinants of internal migration occur
in the regions of Tanzania.

5. Discussion and Conclusion
The purpose of this paper is to examine the determinants of the inter-regional migration of residents in Tanzania.
A multinomial model is used to examine the data obtained from (ILFS, 2006) dataset available in the archives of

the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) in Tanzania. In order to examine and to capture all important variables
involved in this study, the migration variable consisting of the migratory movements (i.e. Rural to urban and
town to city) are regarded as dependent variables, which include the sex, level of education, marital status,
household income, age, head of the household and household family size are considered as a sovereign.
The rural-urban migration in Tanzania is dominated by young adults; high levels of schooling completion are
positively correlated with the probability of migrating to town and cities, though the educated comprise a
minority of the migrants from most countries and there are gender biases in urban immigration with more male
urban migrants in Tanzania. The results indicate that the variable sex, level of education, household income,
level of skills and marital status would be regarded as the determinants of migration in the regions of Tanzania.
The results of this study are consistent with a number of previous studies such as Mbonile et al (1996), Wouterse
(2010) and Mahinchai (2010) which all examine the determinants of migration in the regions or cities of a
particular area. The findings presented in this study suggest that the migration is a selection process based on the
demographic and household characteristics of which the effects of their characteristics are in the trend of the
human capital theory and empirical of previous work. In Tanzania, the income differences and less motivation of
the residents staying in rural areas are among the pronounced reasons contributing to migration in regions of the
country. Furthermore, the majority of the migrants in Tanzania regions is from rural to urban area of which the
percentage of males is higher compared to females but most of them have no skills making their penetration to
the modern labor market sector almost impossible.
The study recommends that the policy intends to interventions the migration patterns must be streamed from
rural services where there is limited infrastructure. Furthermore, the policy makers aiming to bring down the
migration must use the determinants of migration to address the effects. These findings also argue that the
adequate rural service capabilities encourage residents to remain in the rural areas. Eventually, the effects of
internal migration in the regions of Tanzania may be very high as compared to the current state of affairs.
Although the present study suggests that the probability of the migration increases with better connectivity of a
rural or town community, a more detailed study to investigate the direction determinants of migration in regions
of Tanzania is needed.
