The Nineteenth-Century Laws of Migration
Captions available
The idea
Ravenstein's laws of migration, eighteen eighty-five: most move only a short distance; each flow produces a counter-flow; long-distance migrants head for major cities; rural residents are more migratory than urban; females are more migratory than males; economic factors are the main reason.
In practice
Most still hold, except the fifth.
