Summary
This study analyzes migration patterns in the Philippines during the 1960s, examining factors influencing movement between urban and rural areas. It models migration
Area of Science:
- Demography
- Sociology
- Economics
Background:
- Migration is a key demographic process influencing population distribution.
- Understanding migration determinants is crucial for development planning.
- Philippine migration patterns in the 1960s require detailed analysis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the determinants of migratory flows in the Philippines during the 1960s.
- To independently assess individual migrant characteristics and macro-economic variables.
- To develop a model for estimating migration consequences at origin and destination.
Main Methods:
- Regression analysis was employed to model migration determinants.
- Individual migrant characteristics were analyzed separately from macro-economic factors.
- A distinct model was developed to estimate migration impacts.
Main Results:
- Key determinants of urban-rural and rural-urban migration were identified.
- The analysis separated the influence of personal factors from broader economic conditions.
- The study provides insights into the effects of migration on both sending and receiving areas.
Conclusions:
- Migration in the Philippines during the 1960s was influenced by a combination of individual and macro-economic factors.
- Separate analysis of these factors provides a clearer understanding of migration dynamics.
- The developed model aids in assessing the multifaceted consequences of migration.
