The line chart illustrates a survey conducted to discover reasons for people to migrate to the capital city in a country from 2000 to 2015. The measurements are recorded in tens of thousands. Overall, it can be understood from the chart that emplyoment was the number one reason for moving to the capital city over the period compared to other reasons.
At the beginning of the period, in 2000, the number of employment answer far exceeded those of other three reasons, accounting for around 60,000 respondents. Over the next 10 years, although there was a gradual increase to reach the peak of just above 90,000 respondents, the number dropped slightly to end at just 89,000 respondents at the final period.
Interestingly, the pattern of respondents for study as the reason to move was experiencing a dramatic increase, starting from just approximately 25,000 respondents, then climbing to just above 50,000 respondents in over the following ten years, before finishing significantly at the exactly same number of the respondents of Employment in 2015.
In comparison, the pattern of respondents for Family/Friends and Adventure was roughly similar, with both standing at closely 10,000 respondents until 2005. While the number of respondents for Family/Friends rose to end at just 20,000 over the following five years, the number of respondents for choosing Adventure as the reason to migrate was stagnant at about 15,000 respondents at the end of the period.
It can be concluded that the pattern for Employment remained the highest over the period despite the decline from 2010 to 2015. Interestingly, the trend of respondents for Studying was experiencing a dramatic increase, while the rest of the categories accounted for stagnant changes over the same period.
