  • Title: Todaro migration and primacy models: relevance to the urbanization of the Philippines.
    Author: Cuervo JC, Kim Hin DH.
    Journal: Cities; 1998 Aug; 15(4):245-56. PubMed ID: 12294858.
    Abstract:
    "This paper looks into the set of factors that [influence] the urbanization of the Philippines, a fast-growing developing economy in South East Asia. The paper demonstrates that the ¿migration primacy urbanization model' is an appropriate one that is able to explain the urbanization case in the Philippines. The model draws supporting evidence from rank-size distribution analysis of major cities in the Philippines, a detailed examination of historical, geopolitical and economic forces which have evolved in the development of the Philippines as a sovereign state, and the applicability of the Todaro model on rural-urban migration to the Philippines."
