| Abstract: | Conclusions For our purposes here, the analysis has been fruitful in that it has served to indicate and underscore in both general and
specific terms the sources and determinants of migration movement and the destination of migrants. The qualitative analysis
and the statistical test have led to several research conclusions. Both United States and Ghanaian migrants behave in accordance
with the migration concepts examined. Common relationships between migration and economic opportunity are apparent. While
push factors have generally initiated migratory movement among black Americans, particularly in respect to the South, both
groups tend to move to regions with better economic opportunities. In both cases, migration is a negative function of distance,
and a large labor force at the origin is a stimulus to out-migration at the origin. |
