Perceived versus objective urban opportunities and the migration of Venezuelan youths
Abstract A multivariate regression model incorporating both objective economic opportunity and objective quality-of-life measures is able to explain 65% of the variation in young adult in-migration rates for thirty Venezuelan cities in 1971. The objective variables mean annual temperature, level of secondary education, and objective income at the destination are largely responsible for this explanation. A second model, incorporating variables which measure perceived economic opportunity and perceived quality-of-life at the urban destination is then formulated. This perceptual model raises the level of explanation to 83%. Moreover, analysis of the regression coefficients for the objective variables in both models indicates that attractive factors are perceived correctly by migrants while repulsive factors are not.
