Labour migration has been one of the most debated features of the Egyptian economy. In Egypt many empirical studies have been carried out concerning migration and its trends, but the main deficiency of the current literature on the determinant of migration is the large gap between theoretical analysis and empirical application. To bridge the gap between theoretical analysis and empirical applications, the present study has been carried out. In order to explain the determinants of decision making of the family to migrate, a sample has been drawn from the population of Medical Facuby. Then, we built an operational model based on theoretical framework. Three methods of estimates have been used namely; ordinary least squares, logistic and two stage least squares. The most significant factors in the three estimators are age, salary in Egypt, salary abroad, acquiring new skills, economic factors, number of books and researches, psychological factors of the head of the household and the wife's work.
