International migration and urbanization are key dimensions of the
process of socioeconomic development. The unprecedented movement of
peoples within the borders of their own countries is undoubtedly
one of the greatest transformations of humankind witnessed in the
20th century. International migration, while it has received
perhaps less attention, is an equally important process in many
societies. Policy analysts, especially those from developing
countries where the phe nomenon of internal migration can be felt
first hand, view migration as among the most important factors
affecting the course of development. They conSistently report that
understanding the causes and effects of internal migration and
urbanization is vital to putting in place poliCies to cope with the
stresses and harness the potentials of migration in the most
efficient way possible. The world's population will surpass the 6
billion mark in 1998. In just a few years more, another demographic
landmark will be reached when over half of the world's population
will be urban dwellers. From that point on, the world is forecast
to become increasingly urban. Latin America has already gone
through this urban revolution and now has an urban population about
three times larger than its rural popula tion. In the area of
urbanization, the greatest changes in the future will occur in
Mrica and Asia whose populations are still only about 35 percent
urban."
