E.G. Ravensteins's (1885) ?Laws of Migration? 1. Most migrants move only a short distance, and then typically to major cities. 2. Rapidly growing cities are populated by migrants from nearby rural areas; in turn, the ?gaps? left in the rural population are filled by migrants from more distant areas. 3. The process of dispersion is the inverse of the process of absorption and exhibits similar features. 4. Each main current of migration produces a compensating counter current. Continued? 5. Long-distance migrants tend to move to major cities. 6. Rural people have a higher propensity to migrate than urban people. 7. Women have a higher propensity to migrate than men.

Italy is currently in Stage Four of the Demographic Transition Model. They currently have a -0.1 Rate of Natural Increase. This is caused by many contributing factors: a low CBR and a higher CDR (due to the majority of the population being older). Paired with emigration, the country is reducing its population growth. High Crude Death Rates and even higher CBR, creating gradual population growth, characterized Italy’s stage 1. The Industrial Revolution encouraged progression into the next stage. In the mid-nineteenth century, sanitation and new medicines caused Italy’s CDR to drop and NIR to rise. After the population peaked, it began to even out, and eventually decreased to create Stage Four.

THE DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION ?Keith Montgomery The "Demographic Transition" is a model that describes population change over time. It is based on an interpretation begun in 1929 by the American demographer Warren Thompson, of the observed changes, or transitions, in birth and death rates in industrialized societies over the past two hundred years or so. By "model" we mean that it is an idealized, composite picture of population change in these countries. The model is a generalization that applies to these countries as a group and may not accurately describe all individual cases. Whether or not it applies to less developed societies today remains to be seen.

The demographic transition model seeks to explain the transformation of countries from having high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates. In developed countries this transition began in the eighteenth century and continues today. Less developed countries began the transition later and are still in the midst of earlier stages of the model. CBR & CDR
