From the table provided by experts, it can be seen that the outflow of population persists in all regions, but in 2020 there was an increase in outflow in 7 regions: West Kazakhstan, Akmola, Pavlodar, Kostanay, North Kazakhstan, East Kazakhstan, and Kyzylorda regions. In other regions, the outflow of population decreased. In the cities of Nur-Sultan and Shymkent, the inflow of population decreased, and in the city of Almaty it increased. The report notes that in 2020, compared to 2019, there was a decrease in the outflow of population from cities and an increase in the outflow from rural areas in Akmola, Zhambyl, Karaganda, and Kyzylorda regions.
- In Akmola, Zhambyl, Karaganda,Kyzylorda, Almaty and Atyrau regions, there is a decrease in the outflow of population from the city.
- In the North Kazakhstan, Aktobe, West Kazakhstan, Kostanay, Turkestan, East Kazakhstan regions and in the cities of Nur-Sultan and Shymkent, there is a decrease in the inflow to the city.
- In Mangystau, Pavlodar, there was an inflow of population to the cities, and in the city of Almaty, it increased.
In addition, the study examines the relationship between socio-economic factors and interregional mobility of the population.

The results of the correlation and regression analysis of the indicators of socio-economic development of the regions and the indicators of migration activity of the population allowed us to draw the following conclusion: internal migration of the population in the regions has a noticeable (ranging from 0.5 to 0.7) direct relationship with the indicators of housing commissioning-0.682, the average per capita nominal monetary income of the population-0.545, and a noticeable inverse relationship with the share of the population with incomes below the subsistence minimum – -0.503.
According to the data obtained, most of the migration was caused by factors not taken into account in the regression analysis and various random causes.
In general, it can be concluded that the rate of internal migration is somewhat influenced by income, housing and employment opportunities. But the results of the correlation and regression analysis indicate the existence of other motives, for example: the desire to get an education, especially at the youngest working age; family reasons-from marriage or family breakup to moving as part of the family (children, unemployed members of the household). After the end of active work, the motives for moving may be a return to the previous place of residence, a desire to live in the best natural climatic conditions, etc.
To increase the impact of government measures in the regions, it is necessary to use a systematic approach to the study of factors of migration processes, and it is also necessary to develop point-based tools for regulating migration processes for each region.
