[Internal migration in developing countries: rationality of rural-urban migration].

Abstract

"In many developing countries there is a positive and nondecreasing rural-urban net migration. As a rule, making migration decisions jointly is advantageous for individual potential migrants and their families. Rationality of migration decisions depends on the specific character of the constituents of the basic decision model. In most cases, individual or family rationality of migration does not coincide with collective rationality. Trying to bring the two together requires trying to improve the coordinative function of main economic variables and trying to improve the decision makers' information." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
