The given chart displays reasoning behind relocating to the capital provided by survey respondes from 2000 to 2015. As a general trend, throughout this 15-year period, all four motives (employment, studying, relatives or friends and adventures) have grown.
Studying and employment – the 2 reasons for moving to the capital city, that are career-oriented – had been growing syncronically for a decade since 2000. However, 5 years after hitting a peak in 2010 the amount of people relocating to find a job in a bigger city has dropped slightly. During the same period the number of students moving to the capital in order to obtain a degree faced a substential increase. This lead to both abovementioned reasons meeting at the same point just below 90 thousand in 2015.
Meanwhile, the figure of people citing either ‘advanture’ or ‘family/friends’ as the main motivation factor for relocating have remained relatively low. Starting at the joint-lowest point right above 10,000, changing place of residence for the purpose of reconnecting with relatieves and friends showed a slightly steeper rise, resulting in approximate difference of 10 thousand in-between the two indexes in 2015.
As is observed, all four key motivations for relocation have a general tendency for increase, with an exemption of moving to the capital for work, which saw a mild drop during the last 5 years measured.
