Abstract
The research article of the study as “Determinants of migration and
family size with level of educational attainment” (with special
reference to District Chitral, KPK.). out of total 5000, a sample of 500
(250 migrants in Peshawar and 250 respondents of their dependent
families living back in district Chitral) was chosen for the collection of
primary data through simple random sampling method. Interview
schedule as a tool for collection of data was used in the targeted areas
. Chi-square test was used to digout the association between dependent
and independent variables. The findings of the study explored that a
non-significant (P=0.168) association between nature of education and
family type was found. Likewise, a non-significant (P=0.771)
association was disclosed between years of schooling and family type.
In same way, a non-significant (P=0.003) association was also found
between occupation of the household and family type. In contrast to
above results, a significant (P=0.029) relationship was found between
pre-migration occupation of the respondents and family type. Also, a
significant relationship (p=0.024) was explored between number of
members in the family and family type. It is suggested that poverty and
un-employment were the main push factors, which have compelled the
respondents to leave their area of destination to other parts of the
country especially Peshawar was suggested as a policy
recommendation.
