Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 1978•JSTORThis paper is concerned with the development of an explanation of the phenomenon of
migration. We recognize the existence of qualitative differences between individuals in terms
of their reasons for migrating. The differences have implications for the pursuit of the
explanatory strategy which we outline in the first section. In the subsequent three sections
alternative methods of analysis are critically examined and an appropriate method selected
for the operationalization of the strategy. In the fifth section this method is used to provide an …

This paper is concerned with the development of an explanation of the phenomenon of migration. We recognize the existence of qualitative differences between individuals in terms of their reasons for migrating. The differences have implications for the pursuit of the explanatory strategy which we outline in the first section. In the subsequent three sections alternative methods of analysis are critically examined and an appropriate method selected for the operationalization of the strategy. In the fifth section this method is used to provide an explanation of geographical variations in migration propensities. As a consequence, we proceed to measure the effects of exogenous determinants of migration which are susceptible to policy initiatives.
