The majority of migrants move a short distance. Migrants who move longer distances tend to choose big-city destinations Urban residents are often less migratory than inhabitants of rural areas. Families are less likely to make international moves than young adults. Other Influences Include: Migration stage by stage Migration and Technology Economic condition Ravenstein Most migrants travel short distances and their numbers decrease as distance increases Newton Any two bodies attract one another with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.“ When used geographically, the words bodies and masses are replaced by locations and importance respectively, where importance can be measured in terms of population numbers, gross domestic product, or another appropriate variables. The gravity model of migration is therefore based upon the idea that as the importance of one or both of the location increases, there will also be an increase in movement between them. The farther apart the two locations are, however, the movement between them will be less. Zelinsky Stage 1 of the DTM: Pre industrialized economies Economies that have not yet developed are made up of rural countries and subsistence farmers. There will only be Rural – Urban migration between the settlements, if at all, as there
