Abstract
This study investigates the patterns and determinants of human migration from rural and urban areas to the urban region of Amravati, Maharashtra, India. Primary data were collected from 400 respondents using snowball sampling across different localities of Amravati. The study employs statistical tools including a two-sample Z-test for proportions, Chi square test of independence, two-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and binary logistic regression to analyse the migration data. Key findings reveal that education (37.5%) and employment (31.5%) are the dominant reasons for migration. A significant difference in first-time migration rates was observed between males and females (p = 0.0021).
Gender and reasons for migration were found to be significantly associated (p ≈ 0). Age groups significantly differ inmigration behaviour (p = 0.0137), while duration of stay shows no significant association with gender (p = 0.297). Alogistic regression model achieved 70% prediction accuracy for future migration likelihood. Rural-to-urban migration(61%) predominates over urban-to-urban migration (39%), driven by better educational and economic opportunities.
