Migration Models & Theories

LEARNING OBJECTIVES1. TO EXPLAIN DIFFERENT MIGRATION MODELS & THEORIES

2. TO COMPARE THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE DIFFERENT MIGRATION THEORIES

Ravenstein’s Laws

1. Most migrants move only short distances– Inverse relationship between number of

migrants and distance travelled

2. People who move long distances are largely unaware of the opportunities available at their destination – so move to large urban centres

migrate than those in urban centres

Ravenstein’s Law

Gravity Model

• The volume of migration is inversely proportional to the distance travelled and directly proportional to the relative sizes of the origin and destination places.

Stouffer’s Intervening Opportunity Model

• The level of movement of people between two places is dependent upon the type and number of intervening opportunities. So the nature of places is more important than the distance.

Stepwise Migration Model
