Publisher's Synopsis
Until recently, migration, especially from the country to towns, was viewed with alarm and blamed for the many problems faced by developing countries. However, migration has come to be seen not only as inevitable but as a means of economic growth. In a clear account of the issues involved, the authors argue that policy-makers should have a thorough understanding of the role of migration in the developing country. The authors carefully examine a number of important factors and their conclusions have major implications for future policy-makers.;Development economists, planners, demographers, and sociologists of development.
