Abstract
This paper is concerned with the development of an explanation of the phenomenon of migration. We recognize the existence of qualitative differences between individuals in terms of their reasons for migrating. The differences have implications for the pursuit of the explanatory strategy which we outline in the first section. In the subsequent three sections alternative methods of analysis are critically examined and an appropriate method selected for the operationalization of the strategy. In the fifth section this method is used to provide an explanation of geographical variations in migration propensities. As a consequence we proceed to measure the effects of exogenous determinants of migration which are susceptible to policy initiatives. (authors)
