Review of Urban & Regional Development Studies, 1997, vol. 9, issue 2, 170-179

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to bring new insights to some of the conflicting findings in the migration literature about developing countries by using detailed analyses of Turkish migration data. The possible reasons behind inconsistencies in the findings are explained in terms of spatial and temporal characteristics of the data, and by national macro factors (mainly the level of urbanization and the characteristics of the urban systems). Tested were rural out†migration and push factors; changes in the size of rural†to†urban and urban†to†rural return migration; the effect of distance; and the share and effect of rural†to†urban migration in the urban growth and in the unbalanced population distribution in developing countries.
