Abstract
This paper has constructed a model of family migration which explains the rural-urban migration phenomena observed in developing countries more consistently than the existing analyses of migration. This framework determines the differences between the forces that affect family decisions and individual migration decisions. It is also shown how the aggregate flow of migration is affected if migration decisions are predominantly family decisions. Data from India have been used to suggest a method for empirical investigation of the incidence of family migration decisions.
