Abstract:

The authors present the most important results of a national migration study undertaken in Upper Volta in 1974-1975. They describe the historical background to migration, present a theoretical framework for the study of current migration processes, and develop a typology of migration based on geographic and economic factors. They then use data on migration flows by socio-occupational status to illustrate this typology. (ANNOTATION)
