This line graph illustrates survey results which asked recent migrants about their primary motives for relocating to the capital city in a particular nation. Overall, it is evident that the figures for all four reasons increased from 2000 to 2015 while study tripled its statistic within the given time period.
In 2000, employment was by far the most common cause of migration with 60,000 respondents. Study came in second with approximately 24,000, followed by personal relationships (family or friends) and adventure tied at 10,000.
While both employment and study witnessed a considerable rise to 92,000 and 56,000 respectively in 2010, the figure for the former then slightly declined to 89,000 in 2015, marking stark contrast with the latter which experienced a further growth by 32,000 to catch up the former at 89,000 in 2015.
On the other hand, the numbers of new residents of the two remaining motives followed a more moderate upward trajectory. Personal relationships doubled the figure to 22,000 in 2010 and enjoyed an additional slight increase to 23,000 in 2015. Meanwhile, the corresponding figure for adventure continued slow but consistent growth, ending up with 14,000 in 2015.
