The line chart illustrates the reasons why people moved to the capital city of a country between 2000 and 2015. The four main reasons examined are employment, study, family or friends, and adventure.
Overall, employment and study were the most significant reasons for relocation, with a sharp increase in the number of people moving for study during that period.
In 2000, employment was the leading factor, with just over 60,000 people moving for this reason. This figure increased steadily to around 90,000 in 2010, before declining slightly to match the figure for study in 2015, at around 80,000.
Family or friends and adventure were much less significant factors. The number of people relocating for family or friends increased gradually from 10,000 to roughly 20,000 over the 15 years.
To summarize, employment and study dominated as reasons for moving to the capital, with study experiencing a more notable role during that period.
