  ABSTRACT: Internal migration refers to the movement of people from one region to another region within a country, and it can be categorized into family and non-family-reasons for migration. This paper examines the significant factors and socio-economic characteristics of non-family-reason internal migration, using data from Nepal Living Standard Survey (2010/11), a national household survey. This paper fits multiple logistic regression models for the response variables non-family-reason internal migration, and internal migration. The study shows that while the population of non-family-reason internal migrants is relatively small, they cover a large proportion of the wealthiest quintile in the welfare distribution, and their socio-economic indicators are better than other populations.
