The emergence of a new category of migrants -- unattached women -- reveals the inadequacy of existing research approaches which are based on the assumption that female migration reflects patterns of family or household migration. This report uses research conducted in Latin America, Africa, and India to develop a mathematical model of female migration patterns in developing nations. The authors show that where increased economic and/or educational opportunities for women are greater in urban than in rural areas, the increase in female migration rates from countryside to city is marked, and in many cases even greater than male migration levels. The authors argue that two additional variables, mobility marriage (marriage as a means to financial or social improvement) and marital/marriage migration (movement to join or to seek a mate) are particularly important as determinants of the individual woman's propensity to migrate.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from first seen; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
