[Migration and employment].

Although the studies of internal migration have accumulated a great deal of empirical findings and theoretical arguments about how people make the decision to move, the students are confused that while gravity models present a world of regulated orderliness, migration differentials exhibit a chaotic situation where the decision to move depends on a whole set of individual characterisitics. It appears that the 2 traditions of research will probably never meet one another unless efforts are made to bring them together. This paper interpets the gravity model of migration in light of the Todaro model and relates to the studies of migration differentials. While the decision to move is a function of the relative opportunities in both the origin and destination, the function is also contingent on the characteristics of the individuals making the decision to move. A logit analysis of the probability of being employed in the urban-modern sector which is conditional on both age and schooling is presented. Results indicate that the structure of the employment opportunities is the principal determinant of the probability while level of schooling as an individual characteristic plays an important role in becoming employed in the urban-modern sector.
