Migration and urbanization have both increased over the last three decades and have acceleratedeven more during the last decade. The two processes are closely tied to each other; areas that hada high migrant proportion of the population also had a high urban proportion of the population.Moreover, migration has contributed more to population size in areas with higher levels ofurbanization than to those with lower levels of urbanization. Findings from the last three censusessuggest that the contributions of migration and urbanization to socioeconomic developmentshould be carefully taken into consideration. Clearly, migration and urbanization have contributed togrowth and development of some areas, mostly major areas of destination and large cities. However,migration and urbanization have also contributed to widening gaps between areas of origin andareas of destination, and consequently greater regional and rural-urban disparities. These findingssuggest that national development plans should move far beyond the need to achieve economicgrowth and carefully consider more complicated issues of socioeconomic development.
