With increasing non-constructive urbanization in Azerbaijan, there is a need to study the features of internal migration in the country. This study aims to identify the fundamental factors that underlie internal migration in the country's agriculture sector. A survey of 3498 agricultural workers from regions in Azerbaijan and the probit-model method have been used to group the factors that determine internal migration activity in this industry. The most significant factor in deciding on migration is the ratio of individual human capital development to the region's standard of living. Complementary factors of a directly proportional impact on internal migration in agriculture, in order of priority, are personal and professional mobility, infrastructural development of the region, and development of healthcare and education in the area. The study's results can help improve the effectiveness of the country's agricultural development strategy and urbanization management.
