Journal Title: Indian Journal of Agriculture Business - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Migration is one of the important factor after fertility and mortality that affect the demographic changes in a country. But whereas both fertility and mortality operate within the biological framework, migration does not. It influences size, composition and distribution of population. More importantly, migration influences the social, economic and ecological aspects of both destination and departure system. In this study we have discussed the several causes of migration with special emphasis on how these causes are affecting the distance of migration. The present study is conducted in Ghoragachha village under Saguna gram panchayet, Nadia, West Bengal. The numbers of respondents were 60 and they were selected randomly. the data were collected trough pilot survey, structured interview and focused group interview. The statistical tools used for data analysis are correlation coefficient, step down regression, path analysis and factor analysis.family Education (in years)- (X3), number of source information acquired-(X8), Cosmo politeness- (X13), Per capita income from Agriculture and livestock-(X16) and per capita annual other Expenditures-(X19); these are the independent variables which are significant with respect to dependent variable i.e. Y2: Distance of migration.
