The Determinants of Family and Individual Migration: A Case-Study of Rural Bangladesh
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper investigates the determinants of rural-urban migration by adult males in Matlab Thana, Bangladesh, from 1983 to 1991. A three-category model of family migration, individual migration, or no migration identifies important distinctions in the determinants of family and individual migration that would be masked by a simple two-outcome migration model. Family migration, which entails formation of an independent urban household, is more likely among older men and men from landless households, particularly during the year immediately following a devastating flood. The findings demonstrate the potential role of migration in furthering rural socioeconomic stratification: only households with significant resources are better positioned to use individual migration as a powerful outlet for mutual economic development and security.
