RESUMEN
El concepio de migraci6nabarca una eerie defactores sobre Lugar de origen y de destino, obstaculos
intervinientes y caracteristicas personales.
Este simple marco de trabajo es empleado con el fin de formular una eerie de hipotesis acerca del
volumen de la migracion bajo diversas condiciones, el desarrollo de corrientes y contracorrientes
migratorias y las caracteristicas de losmigrantes. Siempre queha sido posible, las hipotesis sepresentan
en forma tal que puedan comprobarse con datos anexos. Para otras hipotesis los datos no son di,-
ponibles adualmente; otras puedenrequerir reeetructuracion en Mrminos de datos disponibles.
Las variaciones en el volumen de migraci6n estdn relacionadas con la diversidad de las regiones y
la poblaci6n que la habita, con el grado de dificultad de los obstdculos intervinientes y con las fluctoo-
ciones de la economia.
La relaci6n entrecorrientes y contracorrientes migratorias es analizada en base a la similaridad 0
discimilaridad de origen y destino, al tipo de obstckulos intervinientes y a las condiciones economicas.
La migracion es considerada selectiva y el grado de selectividad depende de un numero de factores los
cuales a menudo dan comoresultado una selecci6n bimodal.
