Band 5+: The table below shows reasons migrants gave for moving from rural to urban areas, in one country, in the period 1980-2010. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The table above clearly indicates the migrants moving from their motherlands in rural areas, to urban areas. The whole table is separated by: 1) Reasons why exactly migrants moved (For a definite job, looking for work, formal studying and etc.); 2) periods of time when migrants moved from rural to urban (in period of 1980 up to 2010); and also shows how many migrants moved in general

If we look at the period through 1980 to 1990, we can clearly see that most migrants were moving to urban areas to meet with families, friends, and maybe find new relationships in general (the number of migrants is ranged between 33 and 32 people). The second reason is find a definite job (the count of searching for job is ranged between 28-23), however, table shows the number of people searching for job became noticeably decreased. It is obvious that with the time, meeting with family was more important, than finding a job (and that was pretty stable all the way to 2010, as we can see on the graph).

And other options like “Looking for work”, “For a formal study” shows that some of migrants were moving for studying and finding a work on new lands. And also there is an option called “No single reason”, that clearly shows us, that a very small amount of migrants were moving just because of curiousity. Althrough it increased from 4 people to 18 in period of 1980 to 1990, but then it decreased again.
