internal migration and cultural assimilation

[Valhallas Call]

This is probably the only concept in Victoria I can't seem to master, despite all my trying.

Even when I have a full-citizenship party in power, I can't seem to get minority pops to migrate and assimilate with my cultural pops. I shut down their RGOs and they end up just sitting there.

I seem to understand that having a province with a high life rating encourages pops to move to it, but how exactly do you increase the life rating of a province?

You cannot increase or decrease the life rating of a province, though some change by event, you have effectively no control over life rating. Also, POPs will not migrate to another state if there is work available, and it is very important to note that "work available" includes closed RGOs and factories.

Your best bet in this case is to reopen the rgo and let it fill up to capacity. Hopefully POPs will now avoid this province and go somewhere else.

Migration only happens when the RGOs are filled up. So enact health care early, and always split those POPs, and maybe by 1870s you get your migration. You can even play play around with the POPs, for example turn the 35,000 strong Russian labourer pop into craftsmen, then put a 700 strong Azeri pop in its place, and then make the Russians labourers again. Result: Russian pop will eventually seek for jobs elsewhere (like, Alaska or some other precious metal RGO place).
