Dr. M. Meena

Abstract :

An understanding of the determined forces by which out– migration from rural areas is usually considered as an important for planners, economists, social scientists, researchers and government decision makers to adopt a proper decision or policy in relation with it. The contributing factors for migration may either be ‘push‘ or ‘pull‘, with the former guided by force of internal circumstances and the latter by lure of external attractions or incentives. In this context, the present study attempts to analyse the determination of both push and pull factors by getting the attitudes of the migrants on the statements related to the factors of their migration. The objective is to analyse the attitudes of the migrants towards the push factor and pull factor statements with the hypotheses of push factors plays a major role in determining the rural out– migration in the study area. A sample of 571 cardamom migrated workers from Theni district were taken through multi–stage sampling technique. The attitudes of the sample migrants were measured on the basis of 20 push factor and 15 pull factor identified statements with the help of five point scale. In order to reveal the significance of the different attitudes among the specified age groups, ‘one way analysis of variance‘ (f– test) has been administered. The study found that the most important push factor statement ‘no regular employment‘ in the native place has no significant different in the attitude of the migrants. Among the fifteen pull statements, ‘continuous regular job‘ in the place of destination has reported as a very important factor which motivated the migrants to migrate. The hypothesis framed is proved.
