Summary
This study was conducted in Delta State, Nigeria. It used a two-stage conditional likelihood procedure and new data from Delta State, Nigeria to identify the correlation of rural-urban migration at the individual, household, and community levels, with special attention on agricultural services. The results of the econometric analysis are in consonance with the theories of human-capital and network variables and assets, that these variables are salient correlates of rural-urban migration. While considering endogeneity of agricultural services, the findings indicate that agricultural service improvements which have the objective of reducing economic isolation of rural communities have the capability of promoting mobility of labour and free up farm labour for rural-urban migration by reducing costs of transaction and production.

Abstract

The results of the econometric analysis are in consonance with the theories of human-capital and network variables and assets, that these variables are salient correlates of rural-urban migration. While considering endogeneity of agricultural services, the findings indicate that agricultural service improvements which have the objective of reducing economic isolation of rural communities have the capability of promoting mobility of labour and free up farm labour for rural-urban migration by reducing costs of transaction and production.
