Abstract
This thesis is an analysis of the differentials in the
levels of migration and the characteristics of migrants to and
from Metropolitan Manila between 1970 and 1975 using a five per
cent sample of the 1975 Census as the principal source of data.
Measures are presented of the levels of migration to and from
Metropolitan Manila (a) from one region to another, (b) from
the urban areas to the rural areas and (c) from one Metropolitan
Manila city/municipality to another. Also, the age-sex
education, marital status and occupational characteristics
of migrants are examined. Factors that influence migration
as identified in different migration models and theories are
used as guides to explain variations in levels of migration
and the selectivity of migrants. Regression analysis of some
regional and Metropolitan Manila city/municipality variables
on the volume or rate of migration is carried out to determine
correlates of migration. The thesis concludes with a discussion
of the implications of the findings on population redistribution
and the limitations and possible further development of the
study.
