Description
Definition
For usual household members born outside the household interview location, MIGRANTWHY reports the main reason why they moved to their current location (village or city).
Rationales are grouped into broad categories sharing a common first digit: Economic, familial, escape (from some sort of natural/local disaster), and other. More detailed rationales (e.g., escape from flood/drought versus escape from violence) are distinguished in the second digit.
