This seminar explores migration patterns of highly educated working-age individuals in Mindanao using 2010 and 2020 Census data. Although recent migrants make up only about 4% of this group, their choices reveal clear patterns: younger adults and college graduates are more likely to migrate, and they prefer locations with schools, hospitals, parks, highways, airports, and small-sized enterprises. Densely populated towns, especially capital towns, are more attractive, while some regions like Davao and CARAGA draw more migrants than others. The study also shows life-cycle differences in preferences for amenities and economic opportunities.
