    Rural-urban migration in developing countries is driven by information flow and urban wage differences, not just higher average wages. Job search dynamics significantly influence migration decisions.

    Area of Science:

    • Economics
    • Sociology
    • Development Studies

    Background:

    • Rural-urban migration is a key phenomenon in developing countries.
    • Understanding migration drivers is crucial for policy-making.
    • Existing models often focus solely on wage differentials.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an individual model of rural-urban migration.
    • To analyze the impact of information flow and urban wage dispersion on migration.
    • To investigate migration in the context of lifetime job search.

    Main Methods:

    • Agent-based modeling or simulation (implied).
    • Analysis of a lifetime job search program.
    • Examination of urban wage dispersion effects.

    Main Results:

    • Migration can occur even if mean urban wages do not exceed rural income.
    • Information flow significantly influences migration decisions.
    • The shape and spread of urban wage distribution are critical factors affecting migration behavior.

    Conclusions:

    • Migration decisions are complex and influenced by more than just average wage differentials.
    • Information and wage variability play substantial roles in rural-urban migration.
    • The model provides insights into migration dynamics in developing economies.
