title: Forms of migration and measurement in social demography.
abstract: "This paper is an attempt to identify the various forms of migration in demography and the associated measurements adopted and their limitation.  In trying to conceptualize migration, we are in fact trying to identify those who move or migrants and those who do not move or non-migrants. Further it also involves a place or origin from where the migration starts and a place of destination where it culminates."  The author discusses five aspects of territorial mobility, namely, space, residence, time, activity changes, and individual and family criteria. (SUMMARY IN FRE AND SPA)
