  3. Theory • 11 laws of migration • The majority of migrants go only a short distance. • Migration proceeds step by step. There is a process of absorption, whereby people immediately surrounding a rapidly growing town move into it and the gaps they leave are filled by migrants from more distant areas, and so on until the attractive force is spent. • Migrants going long distances generally go by preference to one of the great centers of commerce or industry. • Each current of migration produces a compensating counter-current. • Natives of towns are less migratory than those of rural areas. • Females are more migratory than males within the kingdom of their birth, but males more frequently venture beyond. • Most migrants are adults: families rarely migrate out of their country of birth. • Large towns grow more by migration than by natural increase. • Migration increases in volume as industries and commerce develop and transport improves. • The major direction of migration is from the agricultural areas to the centers of industry and commerce. • The major causes of migration are economic.

  4. Theory • Patterns of migration • Basis for later theories • Impact on Geography
