Unemployment or rigidity in urban labor market causes different wage level from equilibrium wage level. This high level wage increases alternative cost of rural against urban and encourages migration from rural to urban. The state of instigating the migration from rural to urban that causing by the increase on wages levels which is in proportion to secession of competition level has been calculated by considering the Turkey example for different sectors.
