Migration human resource transfers and development contexts: a logit analysis of Venezuelan data.

This paper is concerned with the reciprocal relationship between migration and development in Third World settings. Using individual-level data for Venezuela migration behavior is related to a persons age educational attainment gender and characteristics of his/her place(s) of residence as an out-migrant in-migrant or stayer. Place characteristics are in terms of four groups based on employment patterns: the core regional centers resource frontiers and traditional rural areas....The primary data source for this research is 116672 individual records of Venezuelas 1971 Census of Population.... The authors find that development does influence migration that incipient polarization reversal is in evidence in Venezuela in the late 1960s and early 1970s and that places with different development characteristics generate migration streams differing in type magnitude explanation and impact. It is also found that "while migration undoubtedly influences development how is not entirely clear." (EXCERPT)
