520 |a A common criticism of migration research is that it is not subjected to sufficient periodic synthesis. Consequently, a review of recent, significant literature on internal migration in the U.S. is undertaken. In order to provide a framework for review of the many studies of migration during the past two decades, the now classical "laws" of Ravenstein are utilized. Sex differentials in migration patterns receive special scrutiny. The findings indicate that, in general, Ravenstein's formulations still provide a coherent description of recent internal migration patterns in the United States, especially of rural-urban migration streams. The following tentative generalizations can be stated: (1) for rural-urban streams, females are more migratory than males; (2) women predominate in short-distance moves; (3) most migrants are generally younger than non-migrants; (4) female migrants are younger than male migrants. The consistency of these findings suggests that greater generalization and theory construction in migration research is both possible and desirable.
