Who moved in the five years to 2023/24, where from, and why, from the Seventh Integrated Household Living Conditions Survey (EICV7). 13.7% of the population moved, almost all of it internally: 13.1% within Rwanda against 0.6% from abroad. Kigali is the destination, with a third of the capital's residents having arrived in the last five years against 6.9% in Northern Province. The most common reason given is not a job but a household: 30.5% moved because a parent or their household moved, ahead of employment at 14.1%. 33 indicators covering migration rates, previous country for international migrants, previous province for internal ones, and fifteen reasons for moving, each broken down one dimension at a time by area of residence, province, consumption quintile or sex. Source is tables 2.1 to 2.4 of the EICV7 Main Indicators Report; the machine-readable copies are fetched from the RISA Data Sharing Platform (data.gov.rw) and cross-checked against page 27 of the report.
