Interpreting Migration: Current Models and a New Integration

Interpreting Migration: Current Models and a New Integration

immigration, policy, population, data

Assembles the range of migrational models and theories found in disparate disciplines, and examines convergences among them while assessing their individual worth. Then proposes a new, two-pronged model: a causal analysis based on "aspirations, opportunities, and mobility," paired with a consequential model examining "needs for migration and capacity to absorb it." Tests this model against the migration experience of late-twentieth century U.S. Discusses policy implications.
