Migration as a social phenomenon has occupied the minds of many experts. It’s one of the main factors that has had a negative effect on development in Iran. The research is to investigate the relationship between social capital and juveniles’ tendency to migration. Also, other effective variables on tendency to migration have been studied. This research is a survey. The statistical population is young people between 18 to 35 ages in Tehran. The sample size is 1217 persons that have been chosen by simple random sampling.
The findings showed that amongst variables that have been studied, The important variable is social capital with coefficient of determination- 0.188. Those people who have possessed low social capital have had high tendency to migration. Also, coefficient of determination for other variables including education, age and income has been 0.151, -0.186 and 0.100. So, these variables have had a direct effect on juveniles’ tendency to migration. Coefficient of determination has been 0.115 for gender, 0.133 for marital status and 0.102 for employment.
We have tried to explore how underdevelopment and disregard to human capitals in our country has led to juveniles’ tendency to migration and how the migration, in turn, intensifies over-underdevelopment of Iran. Also, the role of western utopianism in juveniles’ mind and its impact on tendency to migration to west countries has been historically explained.
