Theoretical Perspectives on Migration
Abstract
The literature on migration in low-income countries has been extensively surveyed in recent years. The main purpose of this chapter is therefore not to repeat the process but rather to provide a broad theoretical background on the determinants of migration and its implications for rural and urban development. Some implications of the theoretical discussion for data collection are briefly indicated, thereby relating the chapter to the larger purpose of the volume.
