Migration and modes of exploitation: the social origins of immobility and mobility

Guy. Standing

ILO Working Papers from International Labour Organization

Abstract: Working paper on the relationship between migration trends and social structure - argues that landowner-rural worker relations based on land tenure and feudalism comprise a foundation for increased mobility and the transition to capitalism (i.e. Social class differentiation, wage employment, division of labour, growth in production, etc.), and considers the role of state intervention in controlling and influencing migration.
