A theory regarding migration with respect to the Iranian case Journal Article

Machine summary:

In this article, while reviewing these theories, an attempt is made to defend the theory that in order to balance population movements, social and economic facilities must be distributed in a balanced manner, and this will not occur unless the dominant social relations are utilized from the transformations of Iranian society between the years 1341 and 1356, and evidence is provided for this claim. In this article, we first examine various theories regarding migration and then, with regard to social relations, facilities, and population distribution in Iran before the Islamic Revolution, we follow an empirical examination of the above theory. Schultz and Sjaastad, as well as theories based on the adaptation 21 of migrants, have reduced the analysis of migration to the level of the psychology of individual migrants, and for this reason, they have failed to provide a complete understanding of this phenomenon and the social and economic factors affecting it. However, if several different variables are used in these probabilistic models, firstly, the selection of each variable lacks a correct criterion for selection, which usually occurs based on a higher statistical correlation between that variable and the migration phenomenon according to previous studies; and secondly, these variables must collectively indicate a complete system, which depends on the researcher's theory of analyzing social and economic events. Conclusion Based on the above content, it can be concluded that between the years 1341 and 1356, due to the planning of the previous regime, social relations have progressed towards centralization, facilities have been distributed in a polarized manner, and the country's urban population has increased explosively.
