Economic causes:

1. For employment, occupation and business: A person migrates to another place for employment, occupation and business.

2. Transfer: When a person employed by a company is transferred from one place to another distant place, he is forced to move to that place.

3. Extant of natural resources: When a particular place has abundance of natural resources, but quite less population relatively, people migrate to that place.

Example: Mines of gold and diamond, regions where petroleum is found, oil refineries, etc. are places that require technical staff in a huge number. Hence, people migrate to places like UAE, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, etc. where such opportunities are widely available.

4. To attain better quality education: A person aspiring for better education migrates to places that offers such facilities and later settles their permanently.

5. To get modern health services: When a person does not get required health services in his own region, he forcibly migrates either temporarily or even permanently to places that offers better health facilities.

6. Planned migration: When a family sends one or more persons away from the native place for economic activity to a distant place it is called planned or organized migration.
