  2. Geographic mobility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_mobility

    Geographic mobility, population mobility, or more simply mobility is also a statistic that measures migration within a population. Commonly used in demography and human geography, it may also be used to describe the movement of animals between populations. These moves can be as large scale as international migrations or as small as regional ...

  3. Zelinsky Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zelinsky_Model

    The Zelinsky Model of Migration Transition, [1] also known as the Migration Transition Model or Zelinsky's Migration Transition Model, claims that the type of migration that occurs within a country depends on its development level and its society type. It connects migration to the stages within the Demographic Transition Model (DTM).

  4. Push and pull factors in migration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_and_pull_factors_in...

    Push and pull factors in migration according to Everett S. Lee (1917-2007) are categories that demographers use to analyze human migration from former areas to new host locations. Lee's model divides factors causing migrations into two groups of factors: push and pull.

  5. Human migration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_migration

    Human migration is the movement of people from one place to another, [1] with intentions of settling, permanently or temporarily, at a new location (geographic region). The movement often occurs over long distances and from one country to another (external migration), but internal migration (within a single country) is the dominant form of human migration globally.

  6. Net migration rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_migration_rate

    The net migration rate is the difference between the number of immigrants (people coming into an area) and the number of emigrants (people leaving an area) per year divided by the population. [1] When the number of immigrants is larger than the number of emigrants, a positive net migration rate occurs.

  7. Gravity model of migration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_model_of_migration

    The gravity model of migration is a model in urban geography derived from Newton's law of gravity, and used to predict the degree of migration interaction between two places. [1] In 1941, astrophysicist John Q. Stewart [2] applied Newton's law to the social sciences, establishing a theoretical foundation for the field of social physics. He ...

  8. History of human migration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_human_migration

    Studies show that the pre-modern migration of human populations begins with the movement of Homo erectus out of Africa across Eurasia about 1.75 million years ago. Homo sapiens appeared to have occupied all of Africa about 150,000 years ago; some members of this species moved out of Africa 70,000 years ago (or, according to more recent studies, as early as 125,000 years ago into Asia, [1] [2 ...

  9. Harris–Todaro model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harris–Todaro_model

    However, even though this migration creates unemployment and induces informal sector growth, this behavior is economically rational and utility-maximizing in the context of the Harris–Todaro model. As long as the migrating economic agents have complete and accurate information concerning rural and urban wage rates and probabilities of ...
