Abstract

The article focuses on the empirical study of within-country migration intention in young age. 136 people, aged 17-35, who live in the city Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Russia, took part in the study. This study examines the role of satisfaction with different life domains in desire to leave the city and move to another region. We asked respondents about their intention to migrate by posing the question “Would you like to leave the city?”. Life satisfaction is examined by measuring satisfac-tion with life in general and with ten life domains. The difference between two groups (who intend to migrate or not) was found through the use of Mann-Whitney U test. The research results have shown that those who intend to migrate tend to be less satisfied with their life in the city, and some domains of life in the city, such as: government, economic situation and social conditions, opportunity of education in the city. Those who intend to migrate are less satisfied with their profession and opportunity of self-realization in it, and also their income level. The findings suggest that those who have no migration intentions tend to be much more satisfied with the area where they live than those who intend to move.
