Abstract

Every year many people are willing to migrate due to several reasons. It is observed that there are many immigrants who live in Seville, which is the capital city of Andalusia. This study aims to explore the motivations behind people's decision to migrate and to where: What are the motivations of immigrants to migrate to Seville? We use data from several resources for the empirical analysis and the field study relies on the survey which is made with immigrants living in Seville. It concludes that security, economic, social and geographic conditions of the origin country can be the main determinants of the migration decision and the migration destination.
