Description
Summary:The Malaysian economy has undergone rapid transformation with a short span of two decades and has a vision to become fully developed economy by the year 2020. This study provides some vivid picture of remarkable ephemeral migration trend and its socio-economic impacts to the rural depopulation. Many study in the past given economic perspective view that influenced rural migration although in late 60s many communities migrated or settled down by the government into resettlement for security reasons. At time the threat from communist insurgencies had created many rural problem and one of the solution at that time was to resettle them into new villages. But the situation now a day is quite different than in the past Migration today is largely influence by economic development that heavily focussed in the town centers through out the State. A case study is conducted at two selected villages of the Bidayuh community of Kampong Mundei and Kampong Simpok. By completion of this study researchers are hoping to uncover the socio-economics impacts of the migration among Bidayuh from the rural to urban areas.
