Segmentation, network multipliers and spillovers: a theory of rural urban migration for a traditional economy Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE CHILDREN ILO INTERNATIONAL TRADE HUMAN RESOURCES LABOUR ECONOMICS MARKETS RURAL-URBAN MIGRATION This paper develops a dynamic theory where economic and social variables work in tandem to shape and accelerate such movement. While existing theories portray migration as a single flow, the new theory highlights spillovers between and contrasts in how social networks and interactions impact on two separate, yet interconnected flows of rural urban migrants. Two empirical illustrations are deployed. In the first, adult male and autonomous child labour migrants make up the two flows; in the second we consider two flows in rural contexts where patterns of social interactions and network access are influenced by caste. 2026-09-30T11:45:22Z Text Online resource 10.25446/oxford.33353601.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/Segmentation_network_multipliers_and_spillovers_a_theory_of_rural_urban_migration_for_a_traditional_economy/33353601 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
