title: Rural out-migration in southern Manitoba:  a simple path analysis of "push" factors.
abstract: "Rural out-migration from southern Manitoba over the period 1971-76 is subjected to a path-analytic model which claims that the exodus is due to unsatisfactory economic and social conditions.  In particular, the model is structured so that migration and community satisfaction both depend upon the economic standing of a community.  Results indicate that while economic conditions are key factors in rural out-migration, other variables, especially those representative of rural isolation, are also of great importance.  These conclusions remain tenable even after allowing for feedback effects from the rural out-migration."  (summary in FRE)
