Professor Hofstee has collected together, in compact and highly
readable form, some of the most important conclusions so far
reached in the study of selective aspects of internal and external
migration. Of still greater value, however, than this sum mary of
findings, and more stimulating to those of us who are directly
concerned with demographic research, are Professor Hofstee's
comments on the undocumented hypotheses with which the literature
of migration abounds, and his suggestions concern ing the kinds of
questions to which objective answers are needed if effective
progress is to be made in this branch of social studies. The study
of migration has had a curiously unsatisfactory history. Statistics
of migration developed as by-products of governmental policy and,
even so, with scant regard to those ques tions on which light
needed to be thrown if policy was to have a sound basis. And as,
for long periods, internal movement was not considered a fit
subject for policy, the statistics in that field tended to be even
less useful. In many countries, net balances of movement by major
administrative areas were the only indicators that could be
obtained. No less important, however, as an expla nation of the
unsatisfactory state of the subject is the fact that so much of
non-governmental research has been piece-meal and un-coordinated -
often of considerable interest in itself but, as is the case with
sociology in general, not building up into a systematic structure."
