Abstract

This Papers aims to determine the decision to migrate of the population of West Nusa Tenggara Province were influenced by push factors (income, number of hours worked, study period, number of families), pull factors (wages in the destination area), and negative information. This study uses data from 100 samples of labour (ages between 18-50 years) with sample areas namely the regency of West Lombok, Central Lombok, East Lombok, and Sumbawa Besar. This study uses logistic binary analysis methods. The results of binary logistic analysis showed that the variables with significant levels were income with a probability of 0.045, working hours of 0.026, and wages in the destination with a probability value of 0.0001, while the variables of study period, number of families, and negative information had no significant effect on decisions to migrate. We Found that the decision to migrate the West Nusa Tenggara society was based on economic factors, so that non-economic (social) factor become the last consideration of society concerning the decision to migrate.
