    Man is a wanting being. He wants more as he get more. The mean to fulfill his increasing

    demand is economic activity. He wants to reach the apex level of success , despite he get it or not. As a

    social being he is also acquainted for social status. In todays world money making and status is deeply

    interrelated. To get such kind of objectives people migrate themselves from one place to another. In this

    paper, it focuses on the different causes and challenges of migration specifically on Rural-urban

    Migration. The aim of this paper is to show how this challenge can be faced from policy makingperspective of developing country especially Bangladesh centered on Dhaka city.

    We are thankful to our course teacher Md. Ashraful Haq Lecturer, Department of Public

    Administration, Jahangirnagar University. We express our sincere thanks and profound gratitude to him.

    We are indebted to the interviews that have helped us to collect information.

    We have studied on 30 peoples at Farmgate in Dhaka. According to the survey, we have identified that

    majority peoples are migrated from the areas which are close to Dhaka and Barisal division, Majority age

    limit of migration is 20-29. And their education level is from class 1-5. By considering their city

    dwelling environment it is identified that 63% people live with many families in a small house & area are

    most slum. Most of the people live with their family members. After discussing the findings & percentage

    of the city dwelling environment of the migrated people it is easy to understand that the living conditionof the migrated peoples is not better. They are suffering from various problems. Poverty, job searching

    and natural calamities were the main push factors for migration, while better opportunity, prior migrants

    and availability of job were the main pull factors behind migration. Education of the migrant and their

    occupation at the Place of origin was significantly related with the push factors of the migrant. Poverty

    was found to be the main push factor for illiterates and moderately educated migrants and job searching

    was the main push factor among the migrants having graduate level education or more. Lastly we have

    identified some policies for minimizing rural- urban migration

    Migration between urban and rural areas is seen as a central element in the livelihoods of many

    households in Bangladesh. Much of the literature focuses on movements of people as a result of

    environmental, economic or demographic crisis. The rapid growth of rural-urban migration has been a

    common feature of developing countries. In Bangladesh, too, migration flows to major cities have

    alarmed observers. A study of migration is of key importance in social science, particularly in population

    studies. The importance emerges not only from the movement of people between places but also from its

    influence on the lives of individuals and urban growth. Rural-urban migration flows increased

    dramatically during the famine of 1974 (BBS, 1996). As a consequence, the share of rural migrants as a

    share of the urban population rose to 8.9% from 5.2% in 1961(Daily Ittefaq, 1999). A distinct selectivity

    with respect to age, sex, caste, marital status, education and occupation is evident in rural - urban

    migration (Millington, 2000). Migration differentials have significant role in identifying the nature and

    strength of the socio-economic and demographic impacts of the population concerned. Many researchers

    have tried to establish some uniformly applicable migration patterns for all countries at all times.

    However, only migration by age has been found to be more or less similar for developed as well as

    developing countries. Several studies reported that determinants of migration vary from country to

    country and even within a country, it varies depending on the socio-economic, demographic and cultural

    factors. High unemployment rate, low income, high population growth, unequal distribution of land,

    demand for higher schooling, prior migration patterns and dissatisfaction with housing have been

    identified as some of the prominent determinants of rural out-migration The propensity of migration is

    usually influenced by a combination of push-pull factors. People migrated to cities and towns because

    they are attracted by livelihood opportunities. Studies on migration have established a positive association

    between levels of infrastructural development of a region and the magnitude of out-migration (CUS,

    1990). Regardless of skill, the migrated population can find diversified livelihood opportunities with

    various incomes in the towns and cities. Thus, the poor rural population considers migration a livelihood

    coping strategy. On the other hand, a considerable number of the population migrates to urban areas from

    villages for higher/better education, employment and investment opportunities. These privileged migrants

    occasionally create employment opportunities in urban areas for the poor migrants mostly in the form of

    wage laborer. Nevertheless, both these categories are driven preponderantly by economic reasons.

    Information and communication also influence the decisions of migration (CUS, 1990).

    Migration:

    Migration (human) is the movement of people from one place to another (within country or between

    countries) for the purpose of taking up permanent or semi-permanent residence. . In another word

    migration is a natural process and should not provide cause for concern. There are two types of migration

    Internal: within country, External: between countries. Both the internal and external may be forced or

    voluntary. Some dominant push factors of rural-urban migration in Bangladesh, which included

    population pressure, adverse person to land ratio, landlessness, poverty, natural calamities, law and order

    situation, and lack of social and cultural opportunities. On the contrary, job opportunities and higher

    wages are the dominant pull factors.

    Scholars Definition

    Scholars of different disciplines have tried to define migration distinctly because of their different

    approaches. Very few of them are agreed on one idea. Literally the term migration means settlement or

    shifting of an individual or a group of individuals from one cultural area or physical aspects to another,

    more or less permanently.

    In the New Webster Dictionary as The act or an instance of moving from one country, region or place

    to settle in another(2) the act or an instance of moving from one area to another in search of work.

    According to Theodore Caplow migration is strictly speaking, the change of residence and need notnecessary involve any change of occupation, but it is closely associated with occupational shift of one

    kind or another.

    Eisentadt looks at migration as the physical transition of any individual or a group from one society to

    another. This transition usually involves abandoning one social setting and intering another and

    permanent one.

    Migration: As a Problem

    The urbanization problem is described using data on urban population growth over the past 50 years.

    Urban population growth is generally far more rapid than total population growth, with about half the

    urban growth accounted for by migrants from the rural areas. Developing country cities are growing far

    more rapidly than those in the developed countries. Shantytowns and similar makeshift settlements

    represent over one-third of developing country urban residents.

    Many LDC urban areas have experienced dualistic development, where a modern formal sector exists

    alongside a large urban informal sector. About half of the urban labor force works in the informal sector.

    Characteristics of urban informal sector jobs include:

    y low skilly low productivityy self-employmenty lack of complementary inputs

    Todaro Theory of Rural Urban migration

    The Todaro Model postulates that migration proceeds in response to urban-rural differences in expected

    income rather than actual earnings. The fundamental premise is that migrants consider the various labor

    market opportunities available to them in the urban sectors & choose they maximizes their expected gains

    from migration. A Schematic framework how the varying factors affecting the migration decision interact

    is given below in a figure:

    In essence, the theory assumes that members of the labor force, both actual and potential, compare their

    expected incomes for a given time horizon in the urban sector (the difference between returns & costs of

    migration) with prevailing average rural incomes and migrate if the former exceeds the latter. According

    to the economic framework of the developing country like Bangladesh, is beset by a chronic

    unemployment problem that a typical migrant cannot expect to secure a high paying urban job

    immediately. Sometimes with considerable human capital like having secondary or university certificate

    have much opportunity to get job in the country. A typical migrant who gains a modern sector job can

    expect to earn twice the actual real income in an urban area then in a real environment may be of little

  • 8/6/2019 Final Assnigmnent

    9/23

    9 | P a g e

    consequence if the actual probability of his securing the higher paying job within , say, a one year

    period is one chance in five. In the view of the facts that the vast majority of migrants are between the

    ages of 15-24 the decision to migrate should be represented on the basis of a longer- time, more

    permanent income calculation.

    A Diagrammatic Presentation of Haris-Todaro Model

    This process of unemployment equilibrium between urban expected wages and average rural income

    rather than an equalized rural-urban wage as in the traditional neoclassical free- market model can also be

    explained by a diagrammatic portrayal of the basic Harris- Todaro model. This is described in the

    following figure.

  • 8/6/2019 Final Assnigmnent

    10/23

    10 | P a g e

    In the above figure two sectors are compared for showing the urban unemployment equilibrium are

    described. The demand for the labor in agricultural sector is given by a negatively slopped line AA.

    Labor demand in manufacturing industries is identified by MM. The total labor force is given by line

    OAOM. In the neoclassical flexible wage, would be established at WA=WM, with OALA workers in

    agriculture & OMLM workers employed in urban manufacturing. All available workers are therefore

    employed.

    Where,

    WA is agricultural income

    LM is employment in manufacturing

    LUS is total urban labor pool

    WM is the urban minimum wage

    If urban wage rate increase to W-M, which will be higher than WA. Then OMLM workers will get job and

    the rest OALM workers will be settled in the rural agricultural sector at wage rate O AWA. So, there is a

    wage gap between these two wages. If the wage of the urban labor in these rate then & rural workers is

    free to migrate then despite the job availability of only OMLM jobs, they are willing to take their chance in

    the urban job lottery. The chance of their getting job will be discussed by the total urban labor pool, LUS.

    The new unemployment equilibrium will create in the point of point of Z. Here the urban rural wage gap

    is W-M WA. OALA workers are still in the agricultural sector, and OMLM, of these workers have modernsector jobs paying W-M wages. The rest, OMLA-OMLM are either unemployed or engaged in low income

    informal activities. ( Todaro et al:2009)

    Important conclusions from the Todaro model

    y The need to reduce the urban bias of development strategies and encourage integrated ruraldevelopment. This will reduce the wage differential between the urban and rural area.

    y Creating urban jobs is an insufficient solution to the urban unemployment problem because moremigration is induced.

    y Expanding education opportunities often results in more urban migration.y Urban wage subsidies are counterproductive as they encourage more migration by increasing the

    probability of finding a job.

    4 persons (33.3%) have no academic qualification at all who earn 3000-5999 on an average monthly

    while 3 persons (16.6%) in immobile sector earn this quantity. In immobile sector 1 person (5.5%)

    completed primary level and earn 6000-8999 monthly on an average. Most of the persons of immobile

    sector earn form 12000-18000 monthly as their educational background is higher than the others. Most of

    the persons completed at least class 7 and 2 persons have passed H.S.C and more. It is understood that the

    educated persons include themselves in the immobile sector and their income level is higher than the

    mobile one. That means, immobile sectors are popular specially too educated migrates because of higher

    returns than the mobile sectors.

    Marriage is an important factor which influences migration of people very much. Most of the persons

    who were asked the questions about migration are married. Only one person among them is unmarried.

    That means marriage influences the migration. The reasons may be increase in the income level, higher

    living standard, increase in the respect level and availability of modern amenities etc. The only one person

    who is unmarried is at the age of 20-29. It also means that the persons were married off at an average of

  • 8/6/2019 Final Assnigmnent

    13/23

    13 | P a g e

    20-29. At this level of age migration rate is also high. After marriage as more income is necessary, the

    persons start to migrate to Dhaka from villages.

    A lot of causes are responsible to the migration of people from villages to Dhaka. The main reasons are

    expectancy of better income, solving unemployment problem and so on. 26 persons who are related to

    mobile and immobile sectors said that the main reason to come Dhaka is to earn a better income than the

    past. 14 persons said that to remove unemployment problem, they came to Dhaka. Better lifestyle

    attracted 4 individuals to leave their villages and reached to Dhaka. To increase the social status and to

    avoid the frequently occurring natural calamities some people also came to Dhaka. But in the analysis,

    expectancy of better income opportunity and solving unemployment problem are the main reasons behind

    the migration. This is because the employment opportunity is much higher than the villages and income is

    also a motivating factor to leave the villages. On the other hand, villages in Bangladesh is filled with

    unemployment problem and income level is very much low.

    Table4: Causes for Choosing Dhaka City- according to questionnaire (M)

    Opportunity of employment is the basic reason to most of the migrated persons to select Dhaka to come.

    As it is the capital city of our country and it has larger employment sectors than any other city, 8 persons

    related to mobile sector and 17 persons related to immobile sector chose Dhaka to come and earn their

    livelihood. Increasing of living standard is also another main reason to select Dhaka. As income level is

    higher in Dhaka, the persons who are living in Dhaka have relatively high living standard than the rural

    people. This factor attracts a huge amount of individuals to come Dhaka. Only 2 persons came to Dhaka

    because of nearness of their home town from Dhaka. Having relatives in Dhaka influences also to select

    Dhaka to come as it is very easy to be permanent to those who have relatives. But the main reason is the

    available opportunity of employment in Dhaka. Only because of this reason every day many people select

    Dhaka as their earning place.

    Residential condition of persons related to immobile sector is higher than the mobile sector as their

    income is higher. 33.33% mobile businessmen live in slums while only 5.5% immobile sector

    businessmen live in slums. 50% of mobile sector businessmen live in tin shed building and 16% in

    building while 66% persons of immobile sectors live in tin sheds. 33% of persons related to immobile

    sectors live in full building. The slums are much cheaper than the tin sheds and buildings. As a result the

    lower income earners live in slums but it is rear in immobile sector because they have a higher income

    than the mobile businessmen. Slums cost 1000-1500 per month for fair while tin sheds require 1500-2500

    and buildings require 4000 on an average. It again shows that the greater income of immobile sector

    related persons than mobile sector related persons. It is seen that who earn 3000-5999 live in slums and

    the persons who earn 15000 or more also live in slum. It depends on their choosing and social status.

    Dhaka is a city with a large population. People generally migrate here because of diversified employment

    opportunity. As the city is overpopulated the commercial and residential area becomes amalgamated. So

    the city dwellers are deprived of the facilities of a mega city. When we ask the respondents to compare

    the basic elements of living between Dhaka city and village then we get the above criteria. In case of

    drinking water most of respondents prefer village to town cause of the availability of pure drinking water.

    In case of electricity, medical facility and educational facilities they prefer city to village because we all

    know that a city is more advance concern to village. On the other hand concerning security most of the

    respondents feel secured in the village than the city. But as a capital city it should ensure the citizens the

    optimum securities.

    Most of the people are interested to stay with family,but in some cases some con not effort to maintain

    family due to lacking of standard amount of money. Some people with lowest income maintain family

    because of having more than one earning person, where the other members are self sufficient. On the

    contrary the member with higher income (in context of informal business) cannot stay with family

    because they have to maintain more than one member who is totally dependent on him. In our study

    respondents said that if the income level increases then they might bring the family. Since other members

    are dependent on the migrated one so they have the intention to be permanent at Dhaka city thus hey canpass their lives. If they do not do so the maintaining of lives will be so difficult. But here is the problem

    in this way, if poor section of people are continuously being migrated then the Dhaka city will have to

    face enormous problem. It should be noted that Dhaka is already a giant city which is not able to ensure

    better habitation of people. Here every day a large number of problems are raising. So our mission would

    be to discourage backward section people to be migrated by providing enough facilities throughout their

    region for saving the Dhaka city from being Giant.

    Almost every districts people are intended to be stayed at Dhaka city due to various reasons. The number

    of migrated people varies from region to region. In our project it has been revealed that maximum

    percentage of people are migrated from Barisal division and a little percentage from Khulna division.

    Since the migrated people are very from Barisal so, there may be some strong factor either pull or push or

    the both. The devastating natural calamities takes place at coastal area like Barisal and a large number of

    people are compelled to seek livelihood in different areas. So they prioritize Dhaka city as first choice.

    Probably its the main factor responsible for migration. Where as though Khulna is in coastal region but

    there are diversified opportunities like industries, port so the local people prefer Khulna to Dhaka. Other

    areas people are found frequently Dhaka has diversified employment opportunity.

    Policy recommendation

    Bangladesh is an under developed country, where 75% people live in the rural area but our capital city

    Dhaka is over populated. More than 20 million people live in Dhaka. It has made a mess system which

    destroy natural environment of Dhaka city. Some policy should be taken by government. I think these

    policies are:

    Government should think about urbanization besides the highway all over the country. This is

    waiting for grant in our national parliament. We appreciate government to implement this policy as early

    as possible.

    The local area may be deprived of development with the impact of the centralization of every aspect. If

    the region based development is occurred and provide a large career opportunities then people might not

    be migrated from one area to another in case of any problem and they will be able to make them self

    sufficient. It is important to be noted that, in our study we found most of the people are not interested in

    staying at Dhaka and only the pull factor is responsible for so. They feel better village than the city and

    will certainly leave the this place if they get to meet the minimum requirments.With the increase of

    population if the local area based industry can be introduced, with the sufficient wage and salary of

    workers and employees respectively then people would not be migrated. In this edition number of

    incentives should be provided to them, so they can contribute to raise productivity. Moreover the existing

    system of the production should be improved. Due to the devastating Natural calamities people from

    Barisal area are migrated to Dhaka city because of lacking of employment opportunities. So here this

    policy is suitable.

    People should be inspired to follow the Contributory Reinvestment Fund, thus they are interested to be

    launched entrepreneurial activities. And for that government should initiate new measure to provide loan

    with easy condition. The existing system of loan procedure (microcredit program) is much hazardous with

    immense condition and that is why poor people cannot overcome the problem. Evidence shows in this

    regard, people are continuously being suppressed and losing the capability leading life in the village area

    and coming to urban area for higher income. In this case CRF can play important role.

    Another core factor is most of the root level landlords; politicians come Dhaka for better life or

    to educate his son or daughter. We think that the English medium school, shopping mall, universities

    should be established in rural areas by the government.

    Different famous things like:

    -card of Bogra

    - Kachagolla of Natore

    - Rashmalai of Comilla

    -Mangoes of Rajshahi

    -Litchis of Dinajpur etc.

    We can encourage those businessman to broad their business on their own town. Govt. and

    private sectors should provide available opportunities.

    Banking sector can play important roles in preventing migration. If they started branches in the

    rural area, it will create a huge employment opportunities. It will also facilitate the area based businesses.

    As a result, people will remove the thinking of coming Dhaka instead of staying in villages.

    Conclusion

    Migration is one of the burning topics nowadays as there are more than 200 millions migrated people

    throughout the globe. This is obviously negative because it facilitates Brain-Drain. That means it makes

    one country or region meritless which obstacles the proper and speedy development of that country or

    region. These migrations are also common in our country especially in Dhaka as it is our capital city. Our

    govt. and private sectors should take immediate steps to prevent this problem as well as make speedy

    development and productivity of the rural res. The policies have to be implemented perfectly. Our

    assignment includes the causes of migration towards Dhaka. We also recommended some policies to

    prevent migration.
