Abstract

This study analyzes the effect of motivation types on urban-to-rural migrants’ intention and behavior to re-migrate to urban areas. The motivation types are classified into economical and non-economical factors. By using the ordered logit model, we analyze the effect of economical and non-economical factors on the intention to re-migrate from rural to urban areas. The effect of economical and non-economical factors on the actual decision to re-migrate to urban areas is estimated based on the multinomial logit model. According to the estimation results, urban-to-rural migrants who put economical reasons first are more likely to choose to re-migrate to urban ares. On the other hand, it is estimated that urban-to-rural migrants who took prior education before migration or moved with their families are less likely to decide to return to urban areas.
