Abstract
To take our discussion forward, from the forces that underpin the motivation for migration to the forces that facilitate and perpetuate the flow of migrant labour, I focus on two important theories that explain the perpetuation of migration, namely ‘migrant networks’ and ‘migrant institutions’ (Massey et al. in Return to Aztlan: the social process of international migration from western Mexico, University of California Press, California, 1993).
