Band 8+: Pie chart: The chart shows the reasons why people moved from one part of Vietnam to live in another. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main feathers, and make comparisons where relevant. Here are the data for each reasons why Vietnamese people moved internally in 2012 (in percentages). Employment (54.5%); Study (11.4%); Marriage (21%); Others (13.1%)

It is clear that employment opportunities were by far the most significant factor influencing people’s decision to move, accounting for more than half of all internal migration. In contrast, other reasons such as education or personal matters played a comparatively minor role.

Specifically, 54.5% of people relocated in search of work, making it the dominant reason for internal migration. This figure was more than double the next most common reason – marriage – which accounted for 21% of movements. Meanwhile, 13.1% of migrants moved for other unspecified reasons, and only 11.4% changed their residence for educational purposes, making this the least common motivation.

In summary, the data reveals that economic factors, particularly employment, were the primary drivers of internal migration in Vietnam in 2012, while social factors like marriage and education were significantly less influential.
