In Zelinsky's Mobility Transition, which statement is true about later stages?

• A. Urbanization decreases in later stages.
• B. International migration declines in later stages.
• C. Urbanization and international migration intensify in later stages.
• D. Migration is unrelated to demographic transition.

Answer: (C)

Zelinsky's Mobility Transition shows how movement patterns evolve as a country modernizes. In the later stages, economic activity concentrates in cities and industrial/service sectors, fueling ongoing urbanization. At the same time, globalization and persistent wage differentials encourage people to move across borders for work, so international migration remains strong. Together, urbanization and international migration intensify in the late stages, making that statement true.
