The line chart illustrates data extracted from a questionnaire regarding the people's initiatives for migrating toward the capital city of the given country between 2000 and 2015. Overall, employment and study experienced a steep rise, while family, friends, and adventure slightly increased in the same time interval.

Turning to the chart, employment and study almost doubled from 2000 to 2005 and reached approximately 90000 and 50000, respectively. On the other hand, the family/friend and adventure reasons remained constant in the same window, keeping the value at roughly more than 10,000.

Between 2005 and 2010, family and friends were more popular and faced a considerable increment, reaching from 10,000 to more than 20,000, while adventure maintained its trend. At the same time, employment and study had an increment, but with a lower slope and an increase in the margin of 10,000. In the end, the study had an abrupt growth from 2010 to 2015, and the ultimate value almost tripled compared to its initial value of 25,000. In contrast to the study, employment did not appeal to the hordes of people and declined by almost a tenth. The family/friend and adventure had no particular fluctuation in the same period and rested on a little more than 20000 and 10000, respectively.
