Emigration is a demographic subject, which similar to vital factors results in structural change in population of a region. Some demographers have
defined emigration as a change in residence thus considering it simply as a movement from one place to another. Emigration constitutes a major
problem for the deprived regions of Iran. 1he problem, which is on the increase in recent years, has exacerbated by moving away on the part of the
specialized and the educated manpower from small towns to larger cities.
Giving special attention to the deprived regions through judicious planning to remedy their deprivation has been expounded as an agenda issue since
ever the Islamic Revolution succeeded, and the following efforts were made:
to enhance infrastructure,
to allocate quotas for entrance examinations of major universities, prioritizing native manpower recruitment,
considering state incentives for employment in the deprived regions, allocating special budget to remedy deprivation
Despite all this, the evidence of deprivation testifies to the fact that the deprived regions are still suffering from lack of specialized manpower.

Moreover, not only has it been difficult for these regions to attract the educated manpower, but also they are losing their much needed meager
manpower, that is, it has become very difficult to maintain the manpower in the regions which need them most.
This paper is conducted with the aim of diagnosing factors which contribute to the maintenance of the specialized manpower in the deprived
regions. The findings show that the policy of training native people to remain in the area has not succeeded. They also show that variables such as
job satisfaction, type of employment, type of housing, and age, are involved in the decision to move out of a deprived region
