Most studies show that the members of rural communities who are most likely to migrate to urban centers are those who have been to school. The studies seem to show a consistent positive correlation between an individual's level of education his propensity to migrate.

But because jobs are scarce,a large proportion of those who migrate often remain unemployed.
