Human migration

This book is concerned with the study of migration from the geographical perspective and is designed as a textbook at the undergraduate level. The emphasis is on spatial patterns and the underlying processes involved in human migration, as well as its role as an agent in the development of the spatial organization of society. An attempt is made to integrate aggregate, behavioral, structural, and consequential approaches to the study of migration. The various laws and spatial models that geographers have formulated about migration are also examined. Examples are presented from around the world, but the primary emphasis is on the United Kingdom. The concluding chapters are concerned with the implications of migration for planners and policymakers.
