Abstract

region of Amravati, Maharashtra, India. Primary data were collected from 400 respondents using snowball sampling across different localities of Amravati. The study employs statistical tools including a two-sample Z-test for proportions, Chi square test of independence, two-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and binary logistic regression to analyse the migration data. Key findings reveal that education (37.5%) and employment (31.5%) are the dominant reasons for migration. A significant difference in first-time migration rates was observed between males and females (p = 0.0021). Gender and reasons for migration were found to be significantly associated (p ≈ 0). Age groups significantly differ inmigration behaviour (p = 0.0137), while duration of stay shows no significant association with gender (p = 0.297). Alogistic regression model achieved 70% prediction accuracy for future migration likelihood. Rural-to-urban migration(61%) predominates over urban-to-urban migration (39%), driven by better educational and economic opportunities.
