This study is a first step toward conceptualizing, analyzing, and theorizing about such sequences and, by extension, types of repeat moves. Central questions posed are: Why do people migrate initially? Why do many migrate repeatedly thereafter? Why do some migrants move onward to new locations, whereas others return to some place where they had lived before? The policy implications of the findings center on two matters: the effects of repeat (and especially return) migration on the local economy and labor force in areas to which migrants move (back); and strategies for strengthening migration's personal economic effectiveness UR - http://www.rand.org/pubs/reports/R2548/ ER -
