Interregional migration is the permanent movement of people from one region of a country to another region. It is a type of internal migration, which is the process of people migrating within their own country or region. Interregional migration is different from intraregional migration, which involves the permanent movement within a single region of a country. People may migrate interregionally due to economic, gender, family status, and cultural factors. For example, people may move from rural and satellite areas near a city into the urban areas in search of better opportunities. The study of interregional migration is important in understanding migration patterns within a society caused by industrialization, population growth, and other social factors.
