The Household Level Determinants in the Choice and Level of Migration

The Household Level Determinants in the Choice and Level of Migration Migration decision making of the household is an important dimension in migration literature as it involves the socio-economic factors of both source and destination places. This study is an endeavour to conceptualize the determinants of choice and level of migration in household migration decision making. It captures both the single location and multiple locations destination option that a prospective migrating family faces while taking migration decision. Applying Heckman two-step technique and McFadden’s maximum likelihood multinomial logit model, the study found that factors like experience of the family head, schooling level of the family, income of the family, income differences in post- and pre-migration situation, village networking etc., are the major factors in family migration decision making. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Environment and Urbanization ASIA SAGE

Abstract

Migration decision making of the household is an important dimension in migration literature as it involves the socio-economic factors of both source and destination places. This study is an endeavour to conceptualize the determinants of choice and level of migration in household migration decision making. It captures both the single location and multiple locations destination option that a prospective migrating family faces while taking migration decision. Applying Heckman two-step technique and McFadden’s maximum likelihood multinomial logit model, the study found that factors like experience of the family head, schooling level of the family, income of the family, income differences in post- and pre-migration situation, village networking etc., are the major factors in family migration decision making.
