Looking for a job and finding better employment were the main reasons behind internal migration in Iran in the last Iranian year (ended March 20, 2018) after “following family’s decision”.

The population of Iran’s internal migrants reached 684,000 last year, of whom around 567,000 resided in urban areas and 117,000 in rural areas.
