Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Zelinsky's model of migration states that migration characteristics vary with the demographic transition, which means that different types of migration occur at different stages of a country's demographic transition. For example, in Stage 2 of the demographic transition, people may migrate from rural to urban areas for job opportunities, while in Stage 4, some people may migrate to retirement communities.
