Migration Types
- Interregional Migration: Movement occurs from one region of a country to another.
- Intraregional Migration: Movement takes place within a single region.
Voluntary Migration
- Migrants choose to relocate primarily for economic improvement opportunities.
Zelinsky's Stages of Migration Transition
- Stage 1: Characterized by high daily or seasonal mobility focused on food rather than permanent relocation.
- Stage 2: Emergence of international migration and interregional movement from rural areas to urban centers due to agricultural advancements and technological changes that reduce rural labor needs. Urban factory jobs attract migrants.
- Stages 3 & 4: Migrants continue to seek economic opportunities; intraregional movement occurs, primarily from urban areas to surrounding suburbs.
