The role of institutions in rural-urban migration and urban unemployment in LDCs: with and without changing level of indebtedness of the peasantry.

چکیده
The author attempts to formalize the role of push and pull factors in rural-urban migration and urban unemployment in Pakistan. Based on the Harris-Todaro framework, a model is developed that also includes perpetual indebtedness of the peasantry and a monopolistic moneylender. The analysis indicates that measures to control such migration could fail because the moneylender siphons off part of the benefits that are supposed to accrue to agricultural workers and thus increases the motivation to migrate.
