Migration

Beneficial features of a migration systems framework:
It directs attention to both ends of a migration flow, with a corresponding necessity to explain stability and mobility in each location;
It examines one flow in the context of other flows, or one destination in relation to alternative destinations;
It highlights the diverse linkages between places, including flows of information, goods, services and ideas, as well as people;
It suggests comparisons between places, thus calling attention to the disparities and imbalances that are a source of energy in the system;
It brings into focus the interconnectedness of the system, in which one part is sensitive to changes in other parts;
It reinforces the view of migration as a dynamic process, a sequence of events occurring over time.

About the framework
Provides a broad context within which a particular research or theoretical interest may be examined. It serves as a reminder that most research efforts deal with only a small fraction of the potential explanatory factors in international migration and it stresses the necessity to analyze and compare conditions at the origin and the destination.
Can also be used to evaluate the adequacy of the research literature on various linkages in migration systems.
Identifies interactions that may be critical to understanding the dynamics of migration flows.
Raises basic questions about the type of knowledge that is required for analyzing migration processes.

The framework may also raise questions about the characteristics of different linkages and how they compare with each other.
Family relationships have an enduring impact on migration. Policies, rules and even norms may change, but obligations among family members are of an abiding nature.
The credibility of the source has much to do with the effectiveness of communications. Family members are trusted sources for information about migration more so than migrant recruitment agencies.
Information is better absorbed and retained when the vocabulary and dialect are close to everyday language. Such compatibility is more likely when information about places is provided by relatives, as opposed to mass media sources.
