Abstract

This paper reports an endeavour to bring together two strands of research on the migration of population within countries. The identification and measurement of differentials in migration among population groups of varying characteristics has received considerable attention from demographers. The issue that the author explores in this paper is the extent to which differential rates of migration by age, education and occupation classes are related to variations in the response of specific groups to the economic gains obtainable through migration.
