Migration Models & Theories
LEARNING OBJECTIVES1. TO EXPLAIN DIFFERENT MIGRATION MODELS & THEORIES
2. TO COMPARE THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE DIFFERENT MIGRATION THEORIES
Ravenstein’s Laws
1. Most migrants move only short distances– Inverse relationship between number of
migrants and distance travelled
2. People who move long distances are largely unaware of the opportunities available at their destination – so move to large urban centres
3. Migration occurs in stages4. People in rural areas more likely to
migrate than those in urban centres
Ravenstein’s Law
5. A typical migrantI. Women more likely to migrate within their
country than men
II. Men are more likely to emigrate than women
III. Most migrants are adult
Gravity Model
• The volume of migration is inversely proportional to the distance travelled and directly proportional to the relative sizes of the origin and destination places.
Stouffer’s Intervening Opportunity Model
• The level of movement of people between two places is dependent upon the type and number of intervening opportunities. So the nature of places is more important than the distance.
Stepwise Migration Model
Stepwise Migration Model
• Behavioral Model that migration occur in stages with a ‘wave-like’ motion. Major settlements tend to attract migrants from smaller cities, which attract. Migrants from smaller towns and villages
