Abstract
There are a number of reasons why the migration of labour should be evaluated within a framework which also incorporates the process of occupational mobility. This chapter considers few particular reasons why this should be so. In the field of applied social science research the policy-maker is concerned with developing policies aimed at ameliorating specific, well defined problems. An analysis of the demographic and occupational characteristics of the labour force at the regional scale does not adequately probe supply conditions within a local labour market. The career profile learning process represents a simple concept, but one which is virtually impossible to measure unless it results in occupational or geographic mobility. This standard conception of the migration process was used to generate a linear relationship by assuming differential propensities to migrate based upon the cumulative inertia phenomenon.
