• We provide new evidence on the link between income growth and internal migration in Malawi. • We find that, on average, rising incomes are associated with higher emigration rates. • This effect is mainly driven by emigration from relatively richer urban areas. • In poorer non-urban districts, emigration tends to fall as economic activity increases. • Urban income gains mainly facilitate lower-skilled emigration; rural income losses mainly prompt higher-skilled emigration.

Abstract
• We provide new evidence on the link between income growth and internal migration in Malawi. • We find that, on average, rising incomes are associated with higher emigration rates. • This effect is mainly driven by emigration from relatively richer urban areas. • In poorer non-urban districts, emigration tends to fall as economic activity increases. • Urban income gains mainly facilitate lower-skilled emigration; rural income losses mainly prompt higher-skilled emigration.
