process of the rural population of Bangladesh. Heckman Probit model 
with sample selection was applied in this paper to explore the 
determinants of migration and intensity of migration at farm 
household level. The farm survey was conducted in the central part of 
Bangladesh on 160 farm households with migrant and on 154 farm 
households without migrant including a total of 316 farm households. 
The results from the applied model revealed that main determinants 
of migration at farm household level are household age, economically 
active males and females, number of young and old dependent 
members in the household and agricultural land holding. On the other 
hand the main determinants of intensity of migration are availability 
of economically adult male in the household, number of young 
dependents and agricultural land holding.
