Abstract
Hous and Rempel (1980) obtain a positive sign that is not significant different from zero for wages expected in a region of origin. Given Kenya's rural economic structure, formal sector wages misrepresent income opportunities. This study applies a polytomous logistic model to aggregate published census data from Kenya to test whether measures of access to land provide a better representation of income opportunities and lead to results consistent with underlying migration theory. I find that as an origin province's quality of agricultural land rises, the likehood of migration declines. Accompanying these results is a brief historical description of Kenya's land tenure system.
