Abstract :
The primary cause of the fast urbanization is the migration of people from rural to urban regions. In this study, individual migratory patterns were investigated in a socioeconomic setting. The purpose of the study was to shed light on how individuals migrate in response to shifting socioeconomic and demographic trends. The current study was carried out in Islamabad, one of Pakistan's metropolitan districts. A purposive sampling technique was used to select the respondents. The only respondents included in this research were those who moved from rural to urban areas and began a family at least three years ago. Information was gathered on socioeconomic factors, such as age, work, health facilities, family income, and literacy. In addition, inquiries were made concerning their reasons for relocating, push and pull factors, and viewpoints on urbanization and its effects. The data analysis was done using the relevant statistical methods. The migratory behavior of most respondents is found to be mostly affected by "Pull Factors," with sixty-six percent of them being drawn to cities in search of a "better lifestyle." Three socioeconomic factors, age, income, and education, were shown to have the most effects on the respondents' attitudes regarding migration.
