The line graph illustrates trends in reasons why people moved to the capital of a specific country, provided by survey results, over the period from 2000 to 2015.
Overall, there was a relatively steady upward trend in the number of people who moved to the capital city of a particular country due to job opportunities, education, family/friends, or adventure. Interestingly, while adventure and family/friends reasons remained their low positions in terms of the figures for these people, employment and study climbed significantly over the given period, reaching the same point in the end.
Regarding adventure and family/friends, they both started from just over 10,000 people in 2005, before increasing consistently over the next 15-year timeframe to approximately 23,000 and 15,000, respectively. The most significant rise in the number of individuals who choosed family/friends as the reason was observed between 2005 and 2010, from around 15,000 to 22,000.
In contrast, employment and study were the most popular reasons in 2005, recording approximately 61,000 people and 25,000 people, respectively. The number of people choosing employment skyrocketed to just above 90,000 people in 2010, a figure that than dropped insignificantly to around 88,000 individuals in 2015. Likewise, there was a considerable and steady climb to the same point in the figures for study by the end of the given timeframe.
