title: A model for rural out-migration at household level.
abstract: "Based on certain assumptions, a probability model for number of migrants has been proposed.  The model involves several parameters.  The estimates of some of the parameters are determined assuming that the rest are known." The model is applied to data from India taken from a 1978 survey of 3,514 households in villages classified as semi-urban, remote, or growth centers.
