  • Title: Rural-destined migration in Third World settings: a neglected phenomenon?
    Author: Brown LA, Lawson VA.
    Journal: Reg Stud; 1985; 19(5):415-32. PubMed ID: 12314113.
    Abstract:
    This paper 1st reviews earlier research on rural-destined migration in Third World settings, in order to derive generalizations for a topic most often treated in idiosyncratic fashion. Descriptive analysis of all Costa Rican migration flows for 1968-73 then establishes that a surprisingly high proportion are rural directed. Finally, statistical analyses identify differences, in terms of explanatory variables, between urban-and rural-destined migrations, and for rural-destined migrations only, between those originating in urban and rural areas.
