Abstract
Internal migration is the movement of people that involves a change of usual residence within a specified bounded area, usually a country. Internal migration is also referred to as residential mobility. Traditionally, a distinction has been drawn between internal and international migration. However, King and Skeldon 2010: 1521 argue that “the ‘boundary’ between internal and international migration can easily become blurred” because, despite the political importance of the state, the forces of internal and international migration are similar.
