Socio-economic determinants of labour mobility in Pakistan.
"With the availability of Population, Labour Force, and Migration (PLM) Survey data, this paper attempts to develop a model of internal [labor] migration in Pakistan.... Keeping in line with the literature, three types of variables have been identified as the possible determinants of migration.  These variables relate to the possession of human capital, commitment to job and place of residence, and cost-related factors.  After controlling for other variables, it was observed that, in general, migrants were selective especially in terms of age, education, and choice of occupation.  These findings are consistent with the evidence from other developing countries."
