title: The determinants of interdistrict labour in-migration in Pakistan, 1971-1980.
abstract: "This article begins by reviewing the previous literature pertinent to labour migration within Pakistan.  Next, a migration equation at the aggregate level is specified, based on the expected socio-economic determinants of labour migration and data availability.  Regression analysis was used to identify and quantify the determinants of interdistrict migration in Pakistan during the period 1971-1980.  The results demonstrate that one of the major determinants of migration into a district was the percent of previous migrants in a district's population.  Interdistrict migration was also significantly associated with the socio-economic variables of urbanization, population density, and literacy rates. The research presented here provides evidence that the movement of labour between districts in Pakistan is towards locations of superior socio-economic conditions."
