Rural Development and Urban Migration: Can We Keep Them Down on the Farm?

Rhoda, Richard

International Migration Review, v17 n1 p34-64 Spr 1983

Provides evidence from migration theories and empirical research for rejecting the belief that rural development interventions reduce rural to urban migration. Suggests that rural to urban migration may be reduced through programs that increase cultivable land, equalize land or income distribution, or decrease fertility. (Author/MJL)
