Abstract: The paper presents simple theoretical model of migration decision using the Neoclassical approach to the individual choice problem. The prospective migrant is depicted as making a decision on the basis of a comparison of the result of a constrained utility maximization problem, and his present situation. Under conditions prevailing largely in less developed countries, factors inducing movement are identified.
