Primacy of determinants of rural-urban and reverse urban-rural migration in Kenya
Abstract
Studies of Labour migration as far as hitherto
known have touched on the causes of rural to urban migration
and in most cases been carried out in urban centres. In such
endeavours 'Push and Pull' theory has been empirically
demonstrated as being responsible for rural to urban migration.
However, what has not been accomplished in these
studies and which is the primary concern of this thesis is the
determination of the most significant causes of rural-urban
migration. Besides, the previous researches have not studied
the phenomenon of return migration and its causes although some
studies have noted its existence. This study also examines this
existence and the reason for it.
