Regression Model Approach for Out-Migration on Demographic Aspects of Rural Areas of Pauri Garhwal

Creation of separate state Uttarakhand is also becoming the base of migration in Garhwal from different parts of India and in foreign countries. Another way of migration is Garhwalis fleeing from Garhwal and establishing themselves in various cities and villages of other parts of India. It is estimated that approximately, one fifth population of Garhwalis is scattered here and there in India and other countries. Migration is the third component of population change, the other two being mortality and fertility. As compared to birth rate and death rate, migration affects the size of population differently. Migration is not a biological event like birth rate and death rate, but is influenced by the social, cultural, economic and political factors. This paper is an attempt to analyse the out-migration with reference to various demographic indicators like age, marriage, family nature, facilities in the rural areas of Pauri Garhwal. The data is collected through a survey with the help of questionnaire. The multiple regression model is used to show the impact of out-migration from the study area. The analysis shows that highest responsible indicator is income after migration for the study area.
