title: Rural-destined migration in Third World settings: a neglected phenomenon?
abstract: This paper 1st reviews earlier research on rural-destined migration in Third World settings, in order to derive generalizations for a topic most often treated in idiosyncratic fashion.  Descriptive analysis of all Costa Rican migration flows for 1968-73 then establishes that a surprisingly high proportion are rural directed.  Finally, statistical analyses identify differences, in terms of explanatory variables, between urban-and rural-destined migrations, and for rural-destined migrations only, between those originating in urban and rural areas.
