“…Recently, Makhotaeva and Nikolaev (2023) demonstrate the significant influence that socio-economic factors have on the migration behavior of highly skilled specialists, resulting in a favorable impact on the economic progress of both the regions from which they depart and those to which they relocate. As Tacoli (2015), Abdulraheem (2019), and Makhotaeva and Nikolaev (2023) have highlighted enhanced education access and improved healthcare accessibility stand out as the primary factors driving young people from rural to urban regions. Accordingly, Kovanova (2018) suggests that rural areas are more likely to be populated by older, less educated or married people (Cuadrado-Roura, 2001) than younger people, especially those who are educated, unmarried or not interested in the agricultural sector and do not consider starting a household farm as an easy job.…”

“…Internal migration flows have significant impacts both on origin and destination areas. In rural areas that are the origin of consistent outflows, migration primarily affects the region's agricultural sector (United Nations, 2017;Abdulraheem, 2019) by altering labor availability, land use, innovation, and production techniques. Furthermore, it reduces the efficiency of public and social services (Cañal-Fernández and Álvarez, 2022), which leads to a lower level of regional development (Tacoli et al, 2015;Jia et al, 2017;Vakulenko, 2019).…”
